Vibrant and fruitful,
Sheltering and comforting.

Covid Guidelines

As most of you are aware, the governor has changed state guidelines for capacity in houses of worship. While this applies to us, Session has reviewed all of our Covid Mitigation Guidelines and will focus on the procedures that continue to keep our Congregation as safe as possible. We will still request that those attending wear masks, keep as much space as possible between individuals of different households and be aware of the possibility of transmission of the virus by touch. A full list of Worship Guidelines is posted at the end of this document.

Worship this Sunday

Rev. Jeff Day will be in the pulpit this Sunday. His sermon title is The Magnificent Spirit based on Acts 19:1-10, and Ephesians 3:14-21.
