News
We want to thank our Deacons and greeters for providing the 6-8 additional servers needed each Sunday in order to man the temperature-check stations. By providing temperature checks for those who did not do symptom screening at home, our dedicated Deacons and volunteers have helped us increase congregational awareness of this important safety precaution. Over the past 6 weeks, no one arrived with a temperature, and the importance of symptom screening has been well-established. As a result, beginning next week, we will no longer be providing volunteers to take your temperature as you enter the building in the morning services. Stations will still be available for those who have not taken their temperature at home, with detailed instructions on the use of the thermometer, including sanitizing your hands before and after its use. A volunteer will continue to be provided to take the temperatures of those attending the evening service. We continue to encourage everyone to practice standard symptom screening at home or at the provided self-check stations in the lobby, and not to attend in-person if they are not feeling well or have a temperature.
The Elders have approved Steve and Cindy Thompson for membership.
The Care Closet has re-opened and will accept clothing donations during normal office hours! Due to storage limitations, at this time donations may consist of one bag of freshly laundered summer clothes. Please donate additional items to other ministries. All visits to the Care Closet are currently by appointment only; contact the Church office at 372-1130.
Service Opportunities
We want to announce the restart of the ministry Church on the Porch. The goal of Church on the Porch is to bring church to those who cannot attend services on Sunday. Right now, elements on this ministry include a mini communion service at your house, phone calls to those who can’t be at church, or letters of encouragement to those who can’t be at church. If you would like to receive one of these ministries, please call the church office. If you would like to participate in serving others in one of these ministries, we also ask that you call the church office.
