REGATHERING AT SECOND-PONCE
In June, our deacons approved a 5-phase regathering plan that was rooted in the health data and metrics provided by the City of Atlanta. At the time this plan was approved, the city and Second-Ponce were in Phase 2. Based on a spike in COVID cases and hospitalization, Atlanta has regressed to Phase 1 and we must do the same. Below are the current guidelines for phase 1 which include closing our church office. Voicemail will be closely monitored and mail will still be collected.
PHASE 1: STAY AT HOME
General Guidance
· Stay home except for essential trips
· Wear face masks in public
· Wash your hands frequently
· Clean public and high touch areas frequently
· Practice social distancing
Church Activities
· Virtual worship services, Sunday School and Wednesday evening prayer call
· No childcare
· No in-person youth groups
· Church office is closed (The voicemail will be closely monitored and mail will still be collected)
· No outside group meetings
Metrics for Advancement
· Consistent decrease over a 14-day span using a 7-day trailing average of:
o COVID cases
o COVID hospitalizations
o Percent of positive COVID tests
· Percent of hospital and critical care capacity remains above 50%
· Continue to Phase 2 after reaching and sustaining Phase 1 metrics

We are a community of Christ-followers from all walks of life who desire an authentic relationship with God. Our mission is “To know Christ and to make Him known.” As a church family, we seek to follow Jesus’ example by offering hope and modeling love. Real community forms here because we bring our true selves to every occasion we spend together.
We are always happy to have you worship in person or online with us on Sundays, but we invite you to come be part of the rest of our church life. Allow this community to celebrate your victories, mourn your losses and care deeply for the life lived in-between.
