Sunday, May 23 • The Upper Room |

Dear Fourth Church,
As Todd shared this past Sunday, all services will be held indoors starting this Sunday, May 30, with the 9:30 and 11:00 a.m. services changing locations and updated safety measures in effect.
We sincerely hope these adjustments provide something for everyone's comfort level as we transition to all-indoor services. Thanks to the Fourth Medical Team and Session for participating in planning for the season ahead. We have sought to provide options that are consistent with the latest guidance from federal, state, and local authorities while placing our ultimate trust in the Lord from whom our help comes (Psalm 121:1-2).
See the basic information below and visit the Sunday Services page for greater detail. Please feel the freedom to reach out with questions.
Grace to you,
Don Nalle
Director of Communications

This summer we’re starting something new to make our time together on the Lord’s Day even sweeter. At the close of Evening Worship as you exit the church front door, you will be greeted by a dessert food truck, serving a different cool treat each week.
We hope that everyone will grab a dessert and stick around for fellowship outside on the Sanctuary steps and in grassy areas in the front of our church building. The lane will be cordoned off for extra safety. Summer Sunday Nights begin this Sunday, May 30, and continue through August 1. See you there!
