SUNDAY WORSHIP
Sunday worship will continue to be held at 10 am but returning to the pre-Covid order of service.

Effective April 1, the mask mandates have been lifted by the Department of Health which applies to churches and church services. You are no longer required to wear a mask, however, if you feel more comfortable wearing one, please do so at your own discretion.

If you know of someone that may have difficulty getting to church, please reach out to them and offer a ride. This past year of isolation has been very difficult and we can all make a difference by assisting those who need help to get to church.
