As we are all aware, COVID-19 is affecting many people, families and communities. For that reason, we are adding an additional Sunday worship service for the many people who are at risk, and for health and safety reasons, are not able to attend Sunday morning Worship Services.

Starting on February 20^th at 5:00pm we will be adding an additional Sunday service. No children’s programming will be offered at 5:00pm. This will be a MASK REQUIRED SERVICE and SOCIAL DISTANCING (6 feet) will be maintained between seating (family may sit together) to serve the needs of many in light of current conditions.

We again ask that, for the safety of others around you to please consider wearing a mask for all church activities and events.

Thanks for understanding and watching out for each other. If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact the office.
