MBC Children's Ministry Coronavirus Precautions
Dear Parents,
Thank you for allowing us to care for and impact the lives of your child each week. We strive to provide a clean and safe environment for your child to come learn God’s Word and have fun with friends. With the cases of the coronavirus increasing in South Carolina, we want to adequately care for the health of Morningside Kids while at church. We are keeping up-to-date with CDC health guidelines. You can keep up-to-date as well through this link: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html
Our current and additional health precautions for MBC children’s ministry are outlined below. Please take a few minutes to read through these details. One detail to be aware of is that we will not be serving food at church (which includes snacks) through April 5. You are welcome to send a nut-free snack with your child during the next few weeks. At this time, we do not anticipate any changes to the children’s ministry programming. Feel free to email me with any questions or concerns that are still lingering. Let’s pray that the Lord would help us to do our best to use good hygiene and to spare our church family from any serious exposure to the coronavirus.
Blessings,
Lara Cropsey
