Covid19

We will make every effort possible to ensure that measures and guidelines are followed to allow the safe operation of a youth event in a church setting. Please ensure your young person does not attend if they have show any symptoms of Covid19 or have a known contact with the illness. If any young person develops symptoms we will contact all parents immediately and close the event.

The below measures are in addition to following the Covid19 risk assessment for Taunton Vineyard Church

• Young people will be asked to social distance at all times

• They will be encouraged to use the same seat (or their own beanbag) during the main sessions

• Hand gel stations will be set up at the entrance/exit of the building and rooms that are used and young people will be encouraged to wash their hands regularly

• Current guidance does not require face coverings to be worn. They may be used to offer protection to others. If worn, they must be used properly and hands must be thoroughly washed before use

• There will be separate toilets for males and females with hand soap and disposable paper towels. There will also be anti-bacterial wipes to clean any surfaces that have been touched

• All games will be designed to avoid touching of shared materials and will respect social distancing measures

• Food distribution will be made by the youth team, who will wear gloves at all times

• Movement around the building (including stairs) will take into account social distancing measures

Please contact Anna & John via media@tauntonvineyard.org if you have any questions

BIG questions

Science. Sex. Suffering.  What does the bible say about this stuff?

Come and join Ollie and hear Dave & Rach Kemp, Ben McCalla & Dave Hall share some thoughts on these subjects..

What does it mean to be a follower of Jesus when nobody else is watching?

We are following a series of videos produced by Tim Taylor (Youth Pastor at Highfield Church in Southampton) about faith through lock down.

Part one was about finding some time for silence with God.

We came up with five ways tips to help with this

• Start small (maybe 1 minute a day, moving up to five minutes)

• Remove any distractions (turn off your phone or put it on aeroplane mode)

• Try to find a regular time of the day that works for you

• Try to find a regular place

• Don’t beat yourself up if you miss a day - just start afresh the next one

Although the Dreaming the Impossible event this summer has been postponed, the team are still working hard to create and share fresh content on a regular basis.

If you are 13 or over (or encourage your parents to create an account) then over on their Instagram account @dreamingtheimpossible they are going live at 5:00 every Friday afternoon for Stories From Lockdown with inspirational guests, such as Mike Pilavachi (Soul Survivor), Bella Ramsey (up and coming young actress) and Thando Zulu (Youth Pastor at Heart Church Nottingham).

You can also get updates on all things DTI via their Facebook page.

Finally, the team are working hard to develop a YouTube channel where you will be able to engage with content from previous DTI festivals. We’ll update as soon as this becomes avaiable.

Movement Worship are continuing their events online through their YouTube channel to serve the South West and a wider audience.

They run regular live worship nights on a Sunday evening at 6:00pm, which include a time of singing, reflection and a message from the Word.

You can also find out more via their website.
