† WEDNESDAY CHURCH  In an effort to allow more people to worship in   a setting where they feel comfortable, Pastor and the Board of Elders   have decided to hold a service with a higher level of precautions.  This service will be one where all attendees wear masks.  It will not be a communion service.  The plan at this time is to offer this service on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month at 11:00 am.  The next opportunity to worship at this service will be Wednesday, September 2.  The service will adopt the readings and message of the previous Sunday. 

† SUNDAY SCHOOL  Rally Day is today after the service.  Come and join us as we start a new set of lessons to learn about God’s love for his children!

† DRIVE-UP COMMUNION  In an effort to allow more people to take  communion in a setting where they feel comfortable, Pastor and the Board of Elders have decided to offer drive-up communion on the 2nd Wednesday of the month from 2:00-3:00 pm.  You do not need to sign up for a time slot.  It will be offered outside under the overhang by the front door.  The next opportunity for drive-up communion will be September 9.  If you would like communion at a different time, you may call the church office and schedule a time with Pastor.

† THURSDAY MORNING BIBLE STUDY is meeting downstairs in the fellowship hall on Thursdays at 10:00 am.  We are spreading the tables out in an effort to maintain distance and we are wearing masks. Refreshments will not be served.

† FEEDBACK  The various individuals involved in making decisions at church would appreciate any comments and feedback you may have about what the church is doing or what might be helpful. You can always email or call the church.  The more information we have the better we can make decisions to serve the congregation’s needs. Thank you.
