Sunday Morning Kid’s Ministry

Starting on Sunday, October 4, 2020 Northwood will begin to offer limited-capacity Kid’s Ministry to children ages 1 year to 4th grade at our Onsite Campus during both the 9am & 11am services. For safety reasons we are requiring that parents pre-register their children for the service date and time that they plan to attend. This will allow us to ensure that we do not exceed capacity and are able to follow safety protocols and procedures effectively. In order to align with our local school district guidelines, we will be requiring that all adults and kids 1st grade and up wear masks at all times. Younger children are encouraged to wear makes going to and from their classrooms.

The following safety protocols will be implemented in all Kid’s Ministry Classrooms:

• Kids will remain in their classroom for all activities (no large group gatherings)
• Social distancing seating in all classes
• Individual supplies provided for each child
• Individual toy bags provided for each child
• Frequent handwashing, hand sanitizer will be distributed prior to snacks
• Serving prepackaged snacks only
• We are asking only one parent to be involved in drop off and pick up to the classroom door.
• Activities in 1st-4th grade classes will include social distancing
• Activities in Preschool classes will have age appropriate modified social distancing

Our Kid’s Ministry Curriculum will also remain available through our online campus via the Kid’s Ministry at Home page.

Wednesday Night Preteen Gathering

Starting October 7, 2020 our Preteens will be resuming their Wednesday night activities from 6:30pm – 8pm. Wednesday night activities will not require advance registrations. However, in order to align with our local school district guidelines, we will be requiring that our Preteens wear masks to their Wednesday night service
