Masking Update

Marion County is currently in BLUE status. Masks are now optional in the building. Starting in April 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.

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