Worship Via Zoom Was a Success!

Due to the winter storm, which left roads and walks dangerously frozen, Pastor Tracy and Choir Director Jeff Snider provided an abbreviated worship service last Sunday, January 25, via Zoom. Approximately 28 people attended! Below is a screen shot that Debi Heaton made of some of the attendees (thank you Debi!).

Thanks to Pastor Tracy and Jeff for providing this service and enabling congregants to come together in worship in spite of adverse weather!

It's not the building but the

people who make the church!
