I don't know about you, but I'm ready for the Fall.
For one, I'm ready for cooler weather. But I'm also ready for a new slate of programming and events at Tate Springs!
Below is some of the details for how the Fall is going to look for Tate Springs.
General Guidelines
As we continue to navigate our way through our present pandemic, here are some guiding principles we're operating by for the Fall.
Generally we want to keep the COVID curb flat, which means we want to be sensitive to the amount of times people are around one another.
Therefore, we will do the following as it relates to our weekly programming and events:
- We will beef up what we're already doing on Sunday mornings. We are already around one another on Sunday mornings and so it makes sense to make the most out of this time.
- Some weekly programs and events will be held outside because it provides a safer environment for meeting.
- Some weekly programs and events will be online or a hybrid of online and on campus
- In lieu of some of our usual programming, we will instead offer events because they can accomplish some of the same purposes without the ongoing exposure.
- We will take extra precautions for children's ministries, primarily taking temperatures of the children as they enter the room.
Launch Dates for Weekly Programming
- September 6 – Nursery and children’s church starts meeting again during church services.
- September 9 - Youth will begin meeting outside for weekly worship; Adult Bible study (online only); Choir practice (on campus)
