Worship at the Gazebo
As Pastor Bob announced at worship yesterday, we will now be holding Sunday morning worship services at the gazebo on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of every month for July, August and September, weather permitting! Attendance at outdoor worship has been favorable and both the Worship Committee and the Congregation Council thought it best to increase those opportunities during the summer months. All worship services will be held at 10:30 am whether indoors or outdoors and will continue to be live streamed via Zoom or You Tube. In the event of inclement weather, the worship service will be moved indoors. Masks are not required for outdoor worship.
