There are SAFEGUARDING PROCEDURES IN PLACE. We have set some initial safeguarding procedures in place for the coming Sundays. We ask that you review those in advance and please follow them. We are aware that there are persons who will be attending that are choosing to come based on the procedure in place…so let’s do our best to do this and even more!
Here are the Safeguarding’s that were recommended:
Procedures for Reopening Church for On-Site Services
- Ushers will be outside the three main doors and act as greeters.
- Doors will be blocked open so that no one has to touch door handles.
- Inside the entrance doors will be table, on which will be placed collection plate and bulletins:
- Place donation in collection plate and
- Take a bulletin.
- Proceed to Pre-Marked pews (Marked with boxes of tissues). If tissues are used for any reason take the home with you for disposal.
- Family units will sit together, maintain social distancing between all others.
- No one will be beyond the chancel rail except the pastor:
- Scripture reader lectern will be pre-place in designated area,
- Acolytes will light candles prior to the arrival of the pastor,
- And will extinguish candles after the pastor’s departure.
- During joys and concerns and children’s time microphones will not be used. Pastor will take notes for joys and concerns.
- All congregants will be dismissed (from the back) by the ushers.
- DO NOT congregate at the back of the sanctuary, please take all discussions outside, but do not block path for anyone to their vehicles.
These procedures are necessary for the protection of our CHURCH FAMILY.

Faith Over Fear
I had a great gift given to me last week. It was a T-shirt that said two words on the front: “FAITH” and then the word “FEAR” under it. I must admit that I didn’t quite understand it. But as I said the words and with a little help from the person who gave it…
“Go Be the Church” Comes to YOU This Summer!
July 2020 Sermon Series – Sermon on the Mount: Building our Foundation for our Post-COVID Life and Faith This July, we are going to begin a new adventure. This is our “coming-out” as a congregation into a new world… as we live beyond normal. During the pandemic we discovered opportunities in the midst of adversity.…
The people make up the Church — we are the Body of Christ. In some ways, we are similar and in other ways we are different. Yet one thing unites us together — our commitment to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. That common bond has changed our lives. It helps us understand that we are called to a special mission and to be a special people in the world.
New members and friends are always welcome at Sunday school and church and are invited to share in the organizations and activities of our church. Each person in our midst has unique gifts and talents. We hope that the information on this website will help each of us in supporting one another in our common mission as servants of Jesus Christ because we are truly…Blessed beyond measure!
