Arcola Church Nut Policy
Adopted at Church Council
March 22, 2009
Peanut and tree nut allergies, to include both ingested and airborne, can be very harmful, and in severe cases, fatal to both children and adults. Therefore, we ask that you do not bring peanuts or tree nuts or items made with peanuts or tree nuts to church or to church functions. We must create and maintain a safe environment for worshipping and learning within our church. Since we are a public setting, we cannot guarantee absolute compliance with this policy; therefore we expect and encourage everyone, including parents of children with nut allergies, to take all necessary and appropriate precautions while attending church functions. If you have questions on the impact of this or suggestions, please contact Pastor Chris Riedel at
pastorchris@arcolachurch.org or (703) 661-5660 x105. Thank you for your help in building a community that is safe, nurturing and vital for all at Arcola Church.
