Please remember to register for communion with our usher so that your attendance can be recorded!
LETTER FROM PASTOR ROD PARKER:
As we continue to hold services in person I want to let you know a couple of things about this week's service.
Please register with the usher at time of worship service.
Secondly, we will continue to mask while at church and during service. Social distance between households and individuals will still be maintained.
Thirdly, the distribution of Holy Communion will continue to be at the end of service. Please take both individual cups, and the napkin with you once you are dismissed. These items can be placed in the garbage cans near the chancel area.
Fourth, live-streams will continue to be available on Facebook, and recordings on YouTube.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
In Christ,
Pastor Rod
