SNEAK PEEK: WEEKLY WORSHIP EXPERIENCE |
|
WE'RE RETURNING TO IN-PERSON SUNDAY WORSHIP AND CHILDREN'S/YOUTH CHURCH!
Register now for in-person Sunday worship, beginning July 4, at Highland Park UMC's Tolleson Family Activity Center. We're in the Tolleson building temporarily, while repairs are being made to our sanctuary and pastoral suite after last winter's Snowdemic.
Since we're still observing social distancing, seating is limited to 175 adults (we also have space for 60 children and 40 youth in another part of Tolleson).
We've developed a FAQ sheet with answers to frequently asked questions such as child care, children's and youth church, parking, and more. We'll post an updated FAQ sheet periodically in the newsletter and on our website.
We hope you're as excited about our post-pandemic, next-level normal and seeing the St. Luke family again! We've missed you! And we're extremely thankful to Pastor Rasmussen and our sisters and brothers in Christ at Highland Park UMC for their incredible generosity.
