Stay At Home Helper

Stay At Home Arrangement Helper

IMPORTANT MESSAGE:  To prioritize health and safety, we have arranged chair seating instead of pews to allow for social distancing. Cozart staff will be wearing masks, and we recommend guests do as well. Our facilities are thoroughly disinfected after each service, and social distancing guidelines are strongly encouraged. Guests experiencing symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, or fever will be asked to step outside. The well-being of your family, guests, and our staff is our highest priority. For additional information, please review the  City of Normangee Executive Orders by clicking here.

We have created a “Stay At Home Arrangement Helper” to assist our families during the coronavirus pandemic.
