MOVEMENT HIGH SCHOOLERS…there will be a parent meeting for the ‘Ignite’ summer trip next Sunday, June 20, in the wing after service.
AS WE CONTINUE TO NAVIGATE THE COVID PANDEMIC, we are seeing more cities and states fully reopen. When we met as a consistory on Monday night, we discussed how we will adjust our procedures and protocols specifically for Sunday morning worship. Beginning this morning, we have adjusted our seating spacing and restrictions. Most of the sanctuary is open for full seating. However, we have a designated area in the middle of the south main seating area that will continue to have every other row taped off to accommodate people who still wish to be spaced from others. Please only sit in this area if you would be uncomfortable potentially sitting close to others. – Pastor Troy
