Here are a few highlights to keep in mind:

General Guidelines for All Gatherings

The following safety protocols will be followed for all events:
  • Masks are optional with the exception of staff and volunteers working in the church Nursery.

Summer Worship
Join us on Sundays for in-person or online worship at 10:00 AM. NOTE: Regular worship schedule (8:30 & 11:00 AM) resumes on Kick-Off Sunday, September 11.
 

Communion - During the summer Communion is celebrated the first Sunday of each month during the 10:00 AM worship service. Communion is received by intinction. The communion server will tear off a piece of bread, hand it to you, and you may dip it in the cup. If you prefer to use pre-packaged communion elements, you may find them in the Narthex.

Following general safety protocols, staff are available for appointments and groups may meet inside the church building.
