For the month of March, join us for blended worship at 9 am or 11 am in the Crest Center, online via Facebook Live, or on demand anytime after worship at 9 am via Facebook or YouTube. If you attend worship in-person, please be aware that we will do temperature checks, and we do require masks and social distancing.

In April, we anticipate moving the 11 am service back to the Sanctuary for a traditional service at 11 am and a contemporary service in the Crest at 9 am.

We will stream live from the Crest Center this Sunday with a blended worship service.

When?: March 21 and March 28th, during the 9:00 and 11:00 AM services, in-person.

What?: Downstairs in the Children's area, we will have Family Church! We will watch the church service together, and have activities and talk about some ways that parents can help engage their children in worship. This is designed for families that have children in grades Kindergarten through Third Grade. One parent or guardian must attend with your child (both parents are welcome!). All safety and COVID-19 protocols will be followed.

Why?: Family Church is designed to help your family transition back into in-person worship! We will also talk about ways to help your child and family enjoy worship together.

Adults, join us Sundays from 5 pm to 6:30 pm in the Interpreter's Room for a new class co-led by Rev. Josh Kilbourne and Director of Discipleship, Rebekah Ducote. We will focus on how we can open ourselves for the true path God intends for us and our relationship with Jesus.

All students (middle and high school) are welcome to join us for youth from 5pm-6:30pm on Sunday evening! All students participating in person must wear a mask, social distance and have their temperatures taken upon arrival. All Holston Conference and Signal Crest Health and Safety Guidelines will be followed closely.

We will continue to have an online presence. If you are joining us virtually, we encourage students to join our Signal Crest Youth YouTube page and the live chat from 5:10pm-6pm for our regular youth programming and then join their small group for a time of discussion via zoom from 6pm-6:30pm. Zoom links for your student's small group is below. Zoom links will be available for all groups even if their group is in person.

We are excited to share a new opportunity to connect with the Howard School this spring through their baseball program. We are in need of 24 individuals or families to partner with the baseball program as prayer partners for this upcoming season (March-May). This partnership will include praying for a player, writing a weekly note of encouragement to a player and supporting a player at a game (or more) this spring. If you have any questions, contact Drew Barton (dbarton@signalcrestumc.org) or Connie Young (jaycty@epbfi.com)
