Greetings Church family in Jesus’ name,
I have exciting news for this Sunday, August 23rd! My Dad, Rev. Gary Motta will be preaching the sermon and Mom and Dad will be singing a special together at both services! Whether you come in person or watch online you won’t want to miss it!
The Motta family will be on vacation August 24-31. While we are away, our wonderful Ministry Director, Michelle Parker-Clark, will be available as always for prayer and support. My dad, Rev. Gary Motta, will be available for any pastoral emergencies that may arise.
Please be in prayer for our Children’s and Youth ministries as we plan to resume mid-September! Also, remember “Back to Church Sunday” is September 20th! Who all are you going to invite back to Church? Also, this fall we will be launching our new Wes Groups! This will be a safe, flexible, high-level discipleship platform that we are putting together which we trust will be a faithful, spirit-filled response to the discipleship needs of our time. We also anticipate this being an effective, easy way to invite visitors to get connected to the life of our church! More details to follow in the September Compass!
We are back indoors for worship on Sundays! We have plenty of room at both our 9AM service (for seniors and those with underlying health conditions) and 10:30AM service (for anyone, with nursery ministry and live streaming on Facebook). Please don’t hesitate to RSVP! We are excited to begin to see each other. If you have not yet done so, please call or email the office to RSVP for the service you plan to attend. [You only need to RSVP one time!]
Basic Instructions for Coming Back Inside:
1. Wear your mask! (we’ll have extra if you forget)
2. Arrive at the service you RSVP’d for 5-20 minutes before service.
3. Maintain 6ft apart on your way in and out (the host team will help)
4. Use the touchless sanitizer on your way in!
5. Please remember: no congregational singing or reciting during worship (in obedience to our denominational leaders)
Additional Reminders for Indoor Worship:

- You may worship with your tithes and offerings in the red wall-mounted boxes, online, or through the mail.
