In light of the uptick of coronavirus cases in our community, and several having it in our church, the elders wanted to send out a message to you. 

Lord willing, we will regather in person for our discipleship classes on Wednesday, August 5th at 6:00 PM.  

This video details our regathering plans and class options for you (both in person and virtual).

In this pastoral update, Pastor Dave will share with you information about many of our summer events.
Vacation Bible School... is it going to happen?
Camp on the Road... what in the world?
The Lord's Supper... may it be!
Outdoor worship service and picnic... yes, it's happening!
Member's meeting... it was postponed, but when will we do it?
Phase 3 of reopening - our midweek gathering... when will this begin?

A few highlights from the video:
