With thanks to God for the opportunity to gather for worship in His house, and with respect for His representatives in our government, we will follow health guidelines to the best of our ability.
Hand sanitizer and facial tissue are available throughout our building. Please try to touch as few surfaces as possible. We don’t require masks, but you are welcome to wear one.
We have plenty of seating. Please spread out comfortably. You are welcome to sit in the Fellowship Hall.
Our Offering Plate will be on a stand in the entryway. We will not pass it through the pews. Ushers will bring it forward for placement on God’s altar at the usual point in the service. If you didn’t have the opportunity to place your offering in the plate before the service, you may take it to the counters in our Fellowship Hall after the service.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. If you think of any other guidelines, please tell Pastor or a church council member.
Sunday School and Catechism Class will not resume this spring. Both had completed units in March, and will resume in August in order to provide a full academic year of lessons. Confirmation of our eighth-grade student will be arranged with his family.

Handicap Parking: Each of the two signs at the front of our carport is intended to reserve two spaces, for the four handicap spaces required by law. Please leave those spaces for vehicles with official handicap plates or cards. It would be frustrating for those who need them to find them blocked by non-handicap vehicles.
If you would like to park close to the building, please do so along the north side, where the exterior door to the Fellowship Hall will be unlocked. Or ask one of our ushers to park your car for you.
