Outdoor Worship— Sundays at 9:30am, we offer a shorter, family-friendly time of worship in the front yard of the church. We will video for Facebook. Bring your own lawn chair, sit 6 feet apart, wear a mask. In case of rain, we will meet in the Sanctuary (wearing masks, social distancing).
August and September we focused on the theme of Home. September 13, we celebrated Homecoming. We will hears from our member’s talking about home. After the service, everyone enjoyed a Cuppie and Joe’s cupcake.
