Please note the following: Each person will need to bring his or her own facemask. Facemasks will not be provided. All persons attending the 9:00 a.m. service will enter the building wearing their facemask and will not remove it until they leave the building. There will be no congregational music at the 9:00 a.m. service. The 9:00 a.m. service will consist of: A welcome from the pastor Pastor will share serious prayer needs of church/Sunday School members A morning prayer time Special music Message from God’s Word (Pastor and special musician will have their facemask removed while on the platform) We will continue to offer a 10:30 a.m. service where facemasks are highly encouraged but not required. You may reserve social distancing seating for either service by calling the church office no later than Thursday at noon each week. The Sunday School lesson taught by John Yates will still be live streamed at 9:00 a.m. and will be available for viewing anytime thereafter.
