Worship with us in person or online!
Our first-ever outdoor worship service since the COVID 19 pandemic was held on Sunday, August 2nd. It was a traditional worship service with Holy Communion. We were delighted to gather together with over 40 of our sisters and brothers in Christ, in person, and countless others who participated virtually to share the word, the body and blood of Christ, beautiful music and some much needed fellowship! We were able to enjoy all of that while maintaining appropriate health and safety guidelines. Join us this Sunday and every Sunday thereafter for the foreseeable future at 10:30 Eastern Time. Please note that this is half an hour later than we have met in the past – this is to allow additional time for setup and to make sure the weather will permit outdoor worship. Thanks to Pastor Bob and all of the volunteers who made this possible!
Our services will also be offered live online. Whether you join us in person or online, we can’t wait to worship with you!
How to join us in person
Worship will be held at the gazebo in the front yard of the church, weather permitting. You are invited to bring lawn chairs and be seated around the gazebo, or to remain in your car. Ushers will help you to park and practice social distancing while at the church.
Masks must be worn at all times. If you do not have a mask, our ushers will be happy to provide you with one.
Restrooms will be available, but access will be controlled to allow for social distancing.
Although we will not be able to sing together at this time, our church musicians will have musical selections to inspire you each Sunday morning. We will continue to pray and speak the creed together.
Communion will be offered using safe methods of distribution.

How to watch worship on YouTube
Sunday morning worship will be livestreamed straight to our YouTube channel. You can watch on your phone, tablet, computer, or smart TV. You won’t be able to interact with other worship participants, but you’ll be able to see and hear everything that’s happening, as it happens – it’s like a live TV broadcast from the church.
Watch or listen to Daily Prayer, our daily online devotional
We’ll be with you every day throughout the COVID-19 emergency. Join Pastor Bob for a daily time of prayer, scripture and a bit of encouragement. You can watch Daily Prayer on our YouTube channel or listen to the Daily Prayer podcast wherever you get your podcasts.
However you join us, we can’t wait to be with you again!
Your council, worship committee and worship leaders have worked hard to get us to the point where we can worship together safely and meaningfully. We know how different all this is, but we’re grateful that no matter how we gather, no matter what means we use, we are the body of Christ together.
See you soon,
Pastor Bob
