GUIDELINES FOR THE NURSERY


Because of the "Safe Sanctuaries" policies that are being implemented by the United Methodist Churches, the Shoals Emmaus Cluster has adopted these guidelines to comply with those policies.

As guests in our host churches, we will abide by these guidelines for the sake of their policies, and for the safety of our children.

Only children ages 10 and under are allowed to stay in the Shoals Emmaus Cluster Nursery.

If children older than 10 are brought to the meeting, they must have one parent remain with them during the worship service in an area separate from the nursery. Anyone who has not attended on Emmaus weekend* does not attend Cluster meetings.

Children will not be allowed to wander around the church buildings unattended during Emmaus meetings.

Parents must be prepared to sign their children into and out of the nursery.

There will be a minimum of two nursery workers for every meeting.

Hours for the nursery workers will be minimally 5:30 • 8:30 p.m.

Thank you for your spirit of cooperation and charity in complying with these guidelines.

*(The term "Emmaus weekend" includes similar expressions of this three-day experience; e.g. Cursillo, Kairos. Tres Dias; Chrysalis; etc.)
