Church family and friends,
The time has come for us to return worship to our sanctuary! It is with excitement and caution that we will come together on November 1 at 10 a.m. This happens to be the first day after Daylight Savings time ends. Be sure the set your clocks!
There remain expectations for us to come together. Please show your care for others by complying with these rules:
- Wear face mask
- Stay at least 6 feet apart
- Sanitize your hands when entering the building
- In the Sanctuary, sit where there are pew cushions
- Offering AND Attendance Cards will be dropped in the locked collection boxes at each sanctuary entrance
- Bulletins will be available at each sanctuary entrance.
- No shaking hands or offering hugs
- No refreshments will be served
Our first two Sundays in the sanctuary (Nov. 1 & 8) are designated Gratitude Sundays. Here are the specifics:

We are grateful for this church home, our church family and all our loved who have graduated into eternal live.
Worship will include:
