Church is an Essential Service

Officially the church has suspended services. HOWEVER, we are considered "essential" like grocery store, gas station or liquor store. So like last week, Pastor will be here at usual service times for individuals who wish to be present. The "Safer At Home" order does allow us to continue to do this as long as there are not more than 8 others here and we practice safe social distancing.

The vast majority of us should not venture out. However for those that are healthy and assume any risk, know that we are legal.

Please let pastor know if you are planning on being here. The 8AM service spots are already filling up. We want to be safe and legal. If need be, we can add a service time slot.

For those that should not venture out, it is good to know that the church is essential and is continuing on. It is a great comfort that as you read through the home devotion and sermon, you are right in sync with the church. How wonderful to know that we are doing the same thing at the same time even though we may be in different places.

Blessed Lent,

Here is the part of the act that pertains to us.
