ALL
We will slowly transition into bigger groups as the risk for spread of COVID 19 is reduced
We will go back to no service if the spread gets worse
We will slowly add back nursery, children’s church, Sunday school, as the risk for spread
decreases
We will not have Wednesday night services at this time,
We will not run vans at this time
We will not have bulletins or other hand outs
We must maintain an enjoyable upbeat atmosphere. It is different but we are getting back
together and getting back together is a step in the direction of fellowship.
Remember to be an encouragement
And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another,
especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.
