Meeting of the Future’s Group after church.

 

 

 

There will not be any Ladies Group meetings until spring. Everyone will be notified when they start up.

 

 

 

 

We are continuing to require the wearing of masks in the worship service this morning, however starting next Sunday, March 6th, in light of the vastly improved public health environment, we will be going to “masks optional” for our church services moving forward. The wearing of face coverings will no longer be required and will be at each individual’s personal discretion. With the mask requirement lifted, we will be resuming Coffee Hour after our services as well! We look forward to enjoying greater freedom and peace of mind in fellowship together beginning next week. Thank you for your understanding and faithfulness during this recent period.

Our “Prayer Vine” is very important and much needed. To keep it updated, please let Deanna, our church secretary, know of names that need to be added and, “when God has answered your prayer” names that may be removed from the list.
