As Flu, COVID-19 and other viruses continue to circulate, we would like to remind you to self-screen and stay home if you or family members are ill.

Children begin upstairs with their parents, before going downstairs with Miss Elizabeth, and back up later at communion time. For parents with children, the family room is available every Sunday, with a baby gate and a monitor for hearing the service. For those who may wish to stay in the church worship activity bags for children are available by the table under the bell tower. Please leave the activity bags after the service to be refilled for another time.

COVID precautions 

We will continue to have a social distance corner and would ask if you are seated here to wear a mask, as those in this area are there for added precaution. 

Self-screening is so important! If you feel ill, please don’t come and share it with others! The livestream is always an option. 

Let’s continue to take care of each other and keep each other safe!
