Yardley UMC Children & Youth Ministry COVID19 COVENANT
Our Ministries strongly believe in caring for one another. We believe God calls us to love one another as Christ has loved us. In that spirit, we have developed the following Covenant which we are asking all participants in Children & Youth Ministry programs and parents to reflect on and sign.
These are the practices that are in place at all youth activities for all youth and adults. If you and your family still feel uncomfortable with you attending certain activities at this time, we understand and support that decision.
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to .
As a participant in Yardley UMC activities, in this time of global pandemic, I will show my care and concern for others by following the rules below.
I will…
• Maintain 6 feet of distance from those who are not in my household
• Wear a mask when closer than 6 feet to another person
• Not come into physical contact with others (Ex: handshakes, hugs, etc.)
By signing this covenant, you are making a commitment to follow these guidelines.
I agree to follow the guidelines. I understand that failure to follow these guidelines will result in youth being sent home.
By signing this agreement, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that my child(ren) and I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19.
I understand the risks of attending events during a pandemic and I accept sole responsibility for and injury, illness or expense that I or my child(ren) may experience. On my behalf and on behalf of my child(ren), I covenant to hold harmless the church, it’s employees, trustees, volunteers and representatives from claims and liabilities.
