St. Paul writes, "Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all consolation, who consoles us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to console those who are in any affliction with the consolation with which we ourselves are consoled by God." 2 Cor.1:2-4
A new Pastoral Letter has been mailed to the whole congregation. Following National, State, Local, and Religious recommendations, all in-person worship services and gatherings have been suspended through April.
We will continue to check in with you via phone, email, and regular mail. We encourage you to check in with one another. We will continue this weekly news update "Our Life Together" so that you may stay current with our community.
