In consultation with our Deacon Chair, David Williams, and Vice-Chair, Ben Lucas, our worship for December 27 AND January 3 will be online only. There will be no in-person worship in the sanctuary. In-person worship will resume in the sanctuary on January 10 with our State of the Church service. We’ve made this decision due to rising COVID cases and the need for a two week window between Christmas gatherings and returning to our building. While we understand the desire to gather with family and friends during Christmas and New Years, please make every effort to follow CDC guidelines for maintaining safety and health for yourself and others. Our ability to continue worshipping in-person depends on it!
