Children and Youth Religious Education Updates

Families — we hear you and realize how done you are with Zoom.

First, thanks to everyone who made last weekend’s Trunk or Treat celebration such a fun time for our children and everyone else.

We will continue to watch the local COVID numbers.  We feel encouraged by the cooling weather and the possibility of comfortable outdoor activities.

We are not resuming regular classes for children and youth at this time because our classrooms are too small to be safe for unvaccinated children, and because we want some time to be together and nurture each other before we start recruiting people to do stuff.

We will have “busy bags” for kids sitting in the pews with their parents and our services will be welcoming to all ages.

We have already heard from one of you who wants to get back to teaching and we are so grateful for your interest in this.

If others of you are out there, email Susan Caldwell.

If the virus continues on the downward trajectory, we will probably schedule a teacher training in December 2021 and plan to start back with classes in January 2022.

Thanks to all for your patience and flexibility.

In-Person and Online All-Ages Worship (7 November 2021)

Please join us on Sunday (7 November 2021) at 11:00 AM for “What Does it Mean to Be Together?” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.

Our service will be livestreamed on Facebook Live here.

And . . .  we will be also meeting in the sanctuary for the first time since March 2020.

We have some special rules to keep all of us safe as we resume in-person worship services:

  • Masks required for all attendees ages 4 and up (those younger than age 4 are encouraged to mask)
  • All adults and youth ages 12 and up are required to be fully vaccinated against COVID and must bring proof of vaccination.

You can find out more about these restrictions here — we recommend that you read everything carefully before attending worship in person.

Watch for our weekly email announcements for info on the next in-person worship service and other opportunities to gather in smaller groups in person.  You can sign up for these announcements using this link.

Our November 2021 give-away-the-plate recipient is the Northwest Louisiana Food Bank.

There will be an outdoor coffee hour after the worship service but there will be no Zoom coffee hour on Sunday, 7 November 2021.

While we are remaining physically distant, we want to know how you are doing, what you need, and what you are interested in.  You can let us know using these online surveys.
