Extravagant hospitality means making space for all people, especially the most vulnerable in our midst. At Tucker First UMC we want everyone to feel safe and comfortable when they come to worship. In order to do that, the Health and Welfare Committee has continued to balance the scientific data on risk with the comfort level and desires of our members. As the COVID-19 numbers continue to decline and vaccine numbers continue to rise, we are pleased that we are able to continue relaxing safety measures.Click on the button below to read the updated guidelines which are posted on the church website.
