We have learned a lot since we gathered for our first live service May 31. We are still learning. One thing we are learning well is the need to be flexible.
Our original plans included regathering in one morning service and reopening Sunday School for children and teens as well small groups for adults on the 16th of August. Today we are announcing a change of plans (again)!
In order to continue to provide a safe and socially distanced environment we will continue to gather for morning services at 9:15 and 10:45 and we will not resume our Sunday School classes or Adult Small Groups yet.

COVID Questions for Kids
Many have wondered what our plan is for kids with masks. First, per the mayor’s guidelines, masks are now REQUIRED in two situations: (1) when indoors [exceptions for while eating, with family, and in isolated rooms] and (2) when you’re outside and not socially distanced.
In light the Mayor’s orders and with the best wisdom we can exercise, here are some guidelines on the matter:
Thank you for your patience in all of this. We’re doing our best to “submit ourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake,” (2 Peter 2:11) and to provide an atmosphere for your kiddos that is safe and God-honoring. I don’t know about you, but after these last few months, I’d be willing to wear a kilt or lederhosen if it means that I can gather with our church family again! (thankfully, none of you have to see that) We know masks are inconvenient, but I still long for the chance for us to gather together, even with the kiddos, and sing, preach, and fellowship together.

In light the Mayor’s orders and with the best wisdom we can exercise, here are some guidelines on the matter:
- Junior Palooza (July 8): When in the youth center building, kids will need to wear masks. When outside, we’ll keep them as socially distanced as possible.
- Dynamite Kidz (starting on July 8): Kids will start outside and be outside for most of the time. If they do go inside, they need to have a mask with them, but we will keep them outside and socially distanced as much as possible.
- Junior Church (starting on July 12): Parents will accompany their kids from the auditorium to their chid’s children’s church classroom. Children will sit in socially distanced chairs and will need to wear masks.
