Updated Services Schedule and Worship at Home – Sunday worship services have resumed and will also be live-streamed via YouTube at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday mornings. The sermon will also be live-streamed for those in the ASL community at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday mornings. All those who attend the worship services are asked to wear a mask, practice social distancing, and observe the markers in the auditorium. The sermon, of course, is only one element of worship. We have prepared bags of single-serve communion kits that can be picked up at the church building (contact Mike) for those who prefer to continue worshiping at home. For those unable to get out to pick up communion items, please let Mike know and he will arrange for this to be brought to you. When you pick up your communion items, your contribution may be dropped off at that time for the collection on Sunday as well, or members may select “donate” in the members’ area and use PayPal. The YouTube channel also has recorded sermons (dating back to March 12, 2020), and several playlists of a cappella singing and also hymns with ASL interpretation. If you have ANY needs please let one of the Elders know, and we will do what we can to fill that need.
