A Message From our Pastor
Welcome Friends!
The year 2020 was like no other year that any of us have ever experienced and certainly like no other year in the life of our church. I remember very vividly making the decision in March to cancel the worship service as the result of the COVID-19 virus that was spreading in our midst. I thought we might cancel for a Sunday and then resume the next Sunday by using the proper precautions. The cancelation lasted over two months. We then decided to meet again on May 31st and have continued to meet every Sunday since then. We did miss one Sunday out of an abundance of caution because of possible exposure to the virus. We have been extremely pleased with the response of the congregation to the measures we have adopted to ensure the safety of the each member. Everyone has been willing to wear masks and socially-distance from each other during this time…
