PRIZES: Door Prizes will be awarded to four lucky players.

Easter Flower Orders

The Chancel Guild is now taking orders for Easter flowers. We will not have lilies this year due to our interim pastor’s allergy to them; however, we will be obtaining daffodils and tulips which we hope will be in bloom for Easter Sunday.  The cost is $10.00 per plant, and orders need to be submitted by April 10. Please submit payment at the time of your order and mark “Easter Flowers” on your envelope or check.

Masking Update

Masks are now optional in the building. Starting this Sunday, April 3 all masking including for singing will be lifted, and will begin to fellowship with food! Please keep in mind that some folks still may prefer to wear their mask and have a little more personal space.  If you are sick, (even just a case of sniffles), please remain home.  (We want to keep this good thing going!) 
Additionally, we will continue to Livestream both our services.

As we take off our mask, remember this is a step forward because our local Covid numbers are so low, we will continue to monitor the local status, and if numbers rise we will return to masking as needed.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this, contact Pastor Beth directly or contact one of our ruling elders.

 

Blessings,

Pastor Beth
