COMMUNION: One year ago I wrote a note to the congregation about making choices during the COVID -19 pandemic. The cost of the risk verses the benefit s of the reward. The elders have exercised great caution in regards to worship attendance and communion distribution. Worshippers are still encouraged to wear a mask, even if they are not mandated by the state. Starting on Maundy Thursday, April 1, we will offer The Sacrament of the Altar during the worship service. If you choose to attend we ask you to wear a mask. Individual cups only. If you are not comfortable attending communion this way, Pastor will continue to offer Communion privately. The elders reserve the right to change this if the COVID -19 numbers change in the county. Communion will be offered on Easter in the late worship service.
INDIVIDUAL or SMALL GROUP COMMUNION IS AVAILABLE. Please schedule an appointment with Lisa.
