For the protection of the children, families, staff and volunteers in our children and youth ministries, please adhere to the following guidelines when determining if your child or youth should attend events or programming at New Minas Baptist Church.

We would ask that you not bring your child or youth to church or to church events if they have experienced any of the following symptoms in the 24 hours before you plan to attend:

• Fever

• Stomach-ache or vomiting

• Diarrhea

• Non-clear runny nose

• Excessive and / or persistent cough or breathing difficulties

• Discharge from eyes or eye infection or pink eye

• Complaints of a bad headache or sore throat

• Unexplained rash or open sores

• Untreated head lice and / or live nits

• Any other childhood diseases or contagious illnesses [such as chicken pox, mumps, measles, hand-foot-mouth, etc.]

If a child or youth develops any of these above symptoms while in our care, we will ask you to pick them up immediately. We will not administer medicine of any kind for these symptoms.

Staff and volunteer leaders in our events and programming will adhere to the same guidelines.

Thank-you. Your cooperation will help protect the health of everyone who is a part of the Next Generations ministries at New Minas Baptist Church.
