Altar Flowers

The flowers on the altar today have been lovingly given by the Chancel Choir in memory of our beloved Choir Drector’s special Mom, Betty Wood. Our heartfelt condolences go out to you and your family, Jeannie. We love you, Special Lady, and pray God will bless you with His comfort, love, and peace in the weeks ahead.

In-Person Worship

The 8AM in-person service will be inside the sanctuary. This service will not be livestreamed, however the 10AM service will be both in-person and livestreamed.

Updated Restrictions, Singing Allowed!

Due to the Delta variant, masks are strongly recommended but not required for those who are fully vaccinated at the 8AM service. Masks are strongly recommended at the 10AM service due to the presence of unvaccinated children.
