And let us not grow weary of doing good...

for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.  - Galatians6:9

We will meet at the building THIS Sunday May 31st at 10:25 for worship assembly.

It was good to see everyone last week and as long as conditions allow, we will continue to meet on Sunday mornings at 10:25 AM. 

The same guidelines as last week still apply. Please read and follow these guidelines as they are in place to help protect each other from potentially getting the virus. We know it is possible to have the virus and not know it and also to prevent the accidental spread of the virus. So please let’s be very careful in these early stages of going back to church. 

We anticipate that we will continue to meet on Sunday mornings at 10:25 AM unless there is a huge increase in Covid-19 cases in our area. We continue to monitor the situation and will adjust as necessary. 

We are planning to begin online bible classes for our teens and younger people very soon. More on this as we get the details ironed out. 

It is imperative that we all comply with wearing our masks in the building. We know it is inconvenient, we know it is uncomfortable.  Let’s continue to practice social distancing and wear our masks.

Here are the guidelines as previously published. All the same rules still apply:

Our Sunday AM service will be a little different than we are used to but every effort has been made to maintain decency and order of our services.

In planning our return to assembly there are quite a few things we need to observe with regard to social distancing and our worship and so we have made this set of guidelines to follow. We need everyone’s cooperation with these guidelines to help keep everyone safe from the potential spread of Covid-19. The auditorium, foyer and restrooms will be disinfected and sanitized by a professional cleaning company on Saturday. All surfaces, pews, door handles, etc will have been disinfected and wiped down prior to us entering the building on Sunday morning. Call Tim Johnson before entering the building on Saturday.
