Greetings!
Isaish
41:10-14
So do not fear, for I am with you, do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
“All who rage against you will surely be ashamed and disgraced, those who oppose you will be as nothing and perish.
Though you search for your enemies, you will not find them.
Those who wage war against you will be as nothing at all.
For I am the Lord your God! who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear, I will help you.
Do not be afraid, you worm Jacob, little Israel, do not fear, for I myself will help you,” declares the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

FOR THOSE ATTENDING SUNDAY SERVICE IN PERSON, WE ARE PROVIDING SOME HELPFUL REMINDERS
We are asking everyone to PLEASE ARRIVE EARLY - at least 15-20 minutes prior - as many are arriving at the same time and we must safely check in before the service starts.
We will continue to follow the guidelines as set by the Conference and the CDC with:
- Requesting you wear a mask
- Use the hand sanitizers at the door
- We will have social distancing with the seating
- We will be singing quietly out loud, "soft singing"
Starting May 1st, the church will take the next step toward opening. You will self Hand Sanitize and self Mask upon entry.
Thank you for your understanding as we navigate this trial time!
