This Sunday we are having our first in person service in 12 weeks!  We are going to use the outdoors as our venue for this first time back together.  Join us for this full worship service with congregational singing, special music, and a message from the book of Matthew that will give us some important reminders as we emerge from this pandemic.  We ask that you bring your own chair to join us. We will also have a limited number of parking spaces for those who’s health needs require the shelter of their car.  Come join us! We do ask …
