If you plan to attend please read the letter above from pastor and the Elders for health & safety guidelines for parishioners by clicking here. Most importantly, please do not attend if you are not feeling well. If you're healthy and do attend please maintain social distancing and wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth.
Our Sunday Outdoor Worship Service at 9am was very well received so we have decided to try to squeeze in a few extra dates before the weather changes. We hope that you will make plans to join us, so mark your calendars as we will worship in God's creation for the remainder of September and as weather permits in October.
Please bring a chair or blanket and join us in our wooded sanctuary behind the church for worship. Masks are encouraged but not required. We will remain socially distanced and the outdoor services will NOT be live streamed. Services will be held weather permitting, and in the case of inclement weather we will proceed with our traditional indoor service. Also, please remember if you have difficulty walking to pull up as close to the worship area as you can - we don't mind!
All classes meet virtually on Sunday mornings at 11:00 am from September 20th through May. Click here to register for God's Kids Club for the 2020-21 school year.
A lot has changed, but the good news is that God has not changed!
Our guiding principles are to equip you and your children with visual and emotional connections to Scripture so that they remember and understand that they are a very much loved child of God and why the Bible matters in their everyday lives. Oh, and the best part is that we make it FUN!
While considering the challenges for safe learning during this unique time, we are excited to announce that we will provide some fun and creative learning from the comforts of your own home. Our staff felt it was very important for our kids to know their teacher and their classmates so with much prayer we have decided to offer an e-learning environment using Zoom until it is safe to return to the classroom.
