Outreach Update
1. WE ARE BLESSED WITH MANY ASSETS THAT WE CAN LEVERAGE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
2. HOW WILL WE EQUIP VOLUNTEERS DIFFERENTLY?
All Wesley volunteers will be required to wear gloves and masks while serving on or off site as we keep the safety of everyone a top priority. Providing masks may become a possibility. We will recruit younger volunteers to protect volunteers in an at-risk age group and we will use the guidance of the Governor and Mayor to inform our policies and activities.
3. WHAT'S NEXT?
Our team members and volunteers will continue to reach out to assigned partners and organizations to assess their needs and our ability to respond. For information on how you can be involved as a volunteer, please let us know.

Local school decisions will help inform this planning. While sanitizing policies were already in place, these efforts are being increased. All volunteers will wear masks. Our “if you are sick” policies will continue to be enforced. All CDC and local government guidelines will be followed.

ADULT DISCIPLESHIP MINISTRY
- Fall classes and small groups may look very different this fall with a hybrid format that includes virtual groups.
- Retreats and large events will return in the later phases of reopening with a Zoom-format now currently being investigated for the fall.
STUDENT (MIDDLE SCHOOL/HIGH SCHOOL) MINISTRY
- A phased plan is being created to move towards meeting in person, based on the larger Wesley’s plan and the guidelines of local government officials.
- Retreats and large events will return in two phases: Phase One will occur online. Phase Two will occur online or in person in small groups (backyard BBQs, Cookouts, etc.) as restrictions are lessened.
- All programming will follow Wesley’s building use policies for food and numbers of people allowed in restricted spaces.
CHILDREN’S MINISTRY
- Many questions are being researched as the health and safety of our children and families remain our top priority. Consideration is being given to scheduling specific worship times for families with children, providing childcare during services with necessary precautions, children returning to the sanctuary and organizing small, in- home worship groups for families.
- Vacation Bible School will not convenes this year.
Local school decisions will help inform this planning. While sanitizing policies were already in place, these efforts are being increased. All volunteers will wear masks. Our “if you are sick” policies will continue to be enforced. All CDC and local government guidelines will be followed.
