We have updated our guidelines at The Village to be consistent with the new CDC guidelines and WCS policies:

Masks

• Masks and face coverings for our in-person gatherings are recommended and encouraged for children and adults who have not received a COVID vaccine, but they are no longer required.
• Masks for children in Village Kids, 2 years through 5^th Grade, are recommended and encouraged but not required.
• Masks for children under 2 are not required.
• Because the COVID vaccine is not yet available to children under age 12, masks will still be required for all nursery staff and adult volunteers in our nursery and Village Kids.

Temperature Checks

• Temperature checks are no longer required to join in worship.
• Individuals who do not feel well or have any of the COVID virus signs are asked to please stay at home.
  • This includes: If you have been in contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19 in the past 10 days or have experienced/been in contact with anyone experiencing the following symptoms in the past 72 hours:
    • Unusual cough or shortness of breath
    • Loss of taste or smell
    • Sore throat or other flu-like symptoms
    • Vomiting or diarrhea
    • Fever of 99.9 degrees or greater

Social Distancing

In accordance with CDC, Tennessee Department of Health, and WCS guidelines, all worship services will continue to observe social distancing guidelines as much as possible from groups that are not personal family or social/friend cohort groups. This includes maintaining distancing of chairs and avoiding congregating in smaller, high-traffic areas.
