Based on the attendance over the past month we should not have to split the congregation into two services. Under current government guidelines the sanctuary is only approved for about 200 people. If you arrive and find that the sanctuary is at capacity, then please sit in the basement. We also ask that you maintain 6 feet of separation between yourself and those from other households.
In consideration of others and to help keep all of us healthy, please do not attend church if you or anyone in your family is ill or has been exposed to someone with the COVID-19 disease.

Announcement regarding Sunday July 5th
Holy Communion will be served during the service. The pastors, ministers, and board members met to determine the best course of action of how to administer the sacrament in a safer manner. We will be utilizing ushers and there will be further instructions announced at the church.
Based on historical attendance during this COVID-19 pandemic we should not have to split the congregation into two services. Under current government guidelines the sanctuary is only approved for about 200 people. This means that it is possible that you may arrive and find that the sanctuary is at capacity and you may have to sit in the basement. Please be prepared for this. We also ask that you maintain 6 feet of separation between yourself and those from another household.
Please do not attend church if you or anyone in your family is ill or has been exposed to someone with the COVID-19 disease.
Thank you for your patience as we adapt to new information regarding the COVID-19 disease and to changing government guidelines.

Now that we are in Phase 2 church will be reopening with limited attendance with a 10:30 am and 2:00 pm service. Please see the list below to see when you can attend.
We still urge everyone to take this risk seriously. It is very important that we honor and respect those that have a different opinion than we do about the appropriate response. Each family is responsible to maintain whatever measures they feel are necessary to keep themselves and others safe. If anyone in your household has symptoms of illness, please do not come to church. Be aware that there is the possibility that someone in attendance may have the COVID-19 disease without knowing it. Please do not sit anywhere within six feet of anyone outside of your household, and we ask that you refrain from handshakes and hugging. CDC guidelines recommend that masks be worn. If you want to visit after the service, please do so outside while maintaining physical distancing. Anyone who is uncomfortable with attending a public gathering is encouraged to continue joining with us for the online worship service.

Ephesians 4 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
