The Deacons are replacing the yellow chairs in the classrooms with gray padded metal folding chairs. The old yellow chairs will be disposed of but first we want to offer them to anyone who might want some of them. They will be at the church until November 13th after that they will be given to Acts or a Re-Store. Attached is a picture of the chairs.
Due to a rainy forecast our annual church picnic has been postponed to Saturday, Oct 17th from 3-7 pm. Food will be served at 4pm.
Please visit the Sign-Up Genius below to edit your RSVP if needed.
We will be making a few changes to be cautious, so please read carefully. We hope this will be an opportunity for our entire church family to be “together” during this unusual year.
It will be outside and there will be plenty of room to spread out. Please be especially mindful of those with health risks.

Effective September, 20, 2020, we have made the following changes to the policies concerning the first service.
Beginning this coming Lord’s Day, September 20, the first service (9:00 a.m.) will be a mask mandatory service.
It means the following will be observed:
1. Masks must be worn at all times except for when the participants are taking the elements of the Lord’s Supper
2. The elders leading the service will not wear masks when on the platform but will don them when they step down from the platform
As always we are to remember to practice social distancing as much as is practically possible.
We took these actions, not in reaction or response to any organization outside of the church, but out of a love and concern for those within the church who did not feel comfortable with our current practice.
As always, please remember to use prudence regarding your health. Don’t feel obligated to come to church if you still feel uncomfortable, or, if you are sick, please remain home and take advantage of our live stream.
As always your session longs to hear from you and we are always looking for ways that we can better minister to you all.
PLEASE NOTE… Construction of the church entry portico began on Monday, August 31. For the next few weeks, we will have to use the entry at the rear of the church while construction is taking place. Please use caution when walking near the construction site and, for their safety, please keep children away from the construction area.
As a reminder, we are still collecting funds to help pay for the project. If you would like to contribute, please designate any gifts as “Church Portico Project” or something like that.
If you have any questions, please contact any of the Session members.
A concept drawing of the planned portico is on the bulletin board in the foyer.
