Safety Protocols for Attending Regional Assembly

We had hoped that by now the pandemic would be far behind us. We had hoped that we would not have to think about it ever again. We have hoped that there would be no chance that Covid-19 could disrupt the work and gathering of the Regional Church for a third straight year. And yet, we have experienced enough by now to know that there are no such guarantees.

Here is what we can tell you: There are clear indications that this current Omicron wave is receding and that it will be safe for us to have an in-person Regional Assembly with some safety protocols in place.

We are taking care to make sure the in-person experience is as safe as possible.

FOR IN-PERSON ATTENDANCE

If you are planning to attend the Regional Assembly in-person, you will need to verify on the Assembly Registration your vaccination status and that you agree to follow all on-site safety protocols at Harvard Avenue Christian Church and Greenwood Rising Museum.

Vaccinations
Required to attend Regional Assembly in person: You affirm that you are fully vaccinated for Covid-19, with either a two dose regiment of Pfizer or Moderna, or one dose J&J vaccine.

Masks
Plan to bring a mask and be prepared to wear a mask while we are gathered in the learning sessions or in worship. The Greenwood Rising Museum experience will also expect you to wear a mask.

The Region continues to follow the recommendations of the Center for Disease Control safety policies. At this moment, masks will be “required.” We continue to monitor the Center for Disease Control and venue requirements for healthy gathering, and we anticipate that these will continue to change as the event date approaches.

What is Regional Assembly?

The Region traditionally has had a biennial Regional Assembly to gather our congregations together in one place to celebrate in worship and being Disciples of Christ in Oklahoma. Due to the season of COVID-19, we know it is still important to gather together as the body of Christ in Oklahoma for worship, to share in learning, and to conduct business. We are taking precautions to assure everyone’s safety during our in-person gathering and also use technology to allow those who wish to gather with us virtually to participate.

What’s the Best Part?

The best part about this year’s Regional Assembly is that it we will be connected in a unique way via technology and in-person. We may have more folks than in year’s past because they don’t have to travel but can still experience our joyful fellowship experience. For attending in person, together, we will worship, break bread, celebrate our gifts, learn, and conduct business.

Why Does It Matter to Me?

Because each and every church in the Oklahoma Region, and furthermore, each and every member of our churches, are vital towards the part of the Body of Christ that we represent here in Oklahoma.

As we strive towards the global unity that God is calling God’s church to have, we relish these opportunities to embody that unity in our smaller geographies. The work and ministry that each of our churches are doing, especially during this season of COVID-19, planting seeds of faith, reaching out into the community to care for the poor and the broken, feeding the hungry, and providing for children, may be more important now more than ever before.

Come and make sure your voice is heard and that we are lifting up the wonderful ways your church is doing along with all of the other Disciples of Christ in the Oklahoma Region!
