Camden Nazarene Regathering Plan*
*Important Note: Certain data points like infection rates and percent positive rates on tests taken will drive our decision to move to each phase. These dates simply represent a “best case scenario.” (UPDATED: April 10, 2021)
Phase 4 – Resume – April 11, 2021 (Current)
We recognize that COVID-19 is an ever changing situation. That being said our leadership team feels that the current environment warrants a move to a “Resume” phase of our Regathering plan. In this phase we are still being cautious about COVID-19 but we are FULLY OPEN.
Face coverings: The wearing of face coverings is now a “suggestion” and no longer a precaution we are “asking” of you.
We will still have someone working The Passage to serve coffee but that is mainly because we love Madaline and she does a fantastic job helping everyone get their coffee (or Hot Tea) on Sunday mornings!
Giving: Online giving is safe, secure and easy. You can begin giving today by clicking here.
