STAYING HEALTHY THIS SEASON
Dear Church Family,
As we enter the colder months, we want to you of a few simple steps we can all take together to keep our gathering healthy and strong. By practicing these preventative measures, we can reduce the spread of seasonal illnesses and continue worshiping in safety and joy together.

We will continue to keep common areas clean, provide hand sanitizer stations, and make online services available for those who need them.
Let’s care for one another by being mindful of these practices. Together, we can ensure our church remains a place of warmth, fellowship, and health this season.
