Message from Our Church President - 5/2/22

(excerpts)

It is my privilege as your current president to welcome you back to church on Sunday, May 8 for our first in-person service in over two years. We are still being cautious and require that you follow our guidelines [see latest advisiories below]...

Anyone who wishes to continue to attend via Zoom can do so. The virtual (Zoom) portions of our multi-platform services will be simple to start with and you can expect them to get better as our expertise grows.

Along with the return to church we are planning to bring back the Annual Yard Sale on July 9th....

In our discussions in the Second Hour portion on April 25 there was a lot of optimism and energy. That vigorous spirit will help us as we meet, agree upon, and act on our future course. I look forward to walking with you all on this exciting new path of our church.

Respectfully,

Rurik Spence, President
