Planning for Re-opening
We do not know yet when we will re-open for in-person worship services, but the staff is working on plans to do so safely when it is permitted. We do know that asking persons to wear cloth masks is likely to be part of the plan. We will need cloth masks to distribute. If you are able to help provide these, please respond through the welcome card.
Condolences
We offer our condolences to Darin Rothe on the death of his stepfather, Jack Maynard, on May 2, 2020.
