We continue to follow Governor Cooper's guidelines on gatherings which have now been updated to recommend that those who are fully vaccinated wear masks in indoor public settings.
Please wear a mask while inside our church building and fellowship hall. We will have some extra disposable masks available.

We will remain in our pew for communion with individual communion cups.
The offering plate will remain near the door and will be passed.
