1. Create a safety plan.

2. Create a follow-up plan for in-person and online visitors.

3. Decide how to facilitate youth & children’s ministry.

4. Optimize touchless giving.

5. Create a buzz.

When you go…

1. Let us know! Create more buzz around your return.

2. Provide safety updates.

After you go…

1. Invite others to come.
