We have not determined a hard calendar for on-campus Sunday School, Discipleship Training and Wednesday nights as of yet. Class sizes and spaces, particularly with our kids and youth, are problematic. Those will return in phases as things continue to progress. Announcements regarding specific program restart dates and times will be publicized as they become available.
We encourage classes to continue to use virtual meeting platforms if possible. Because of on-campus worship services, Sunday School classes in particular are encouraged to find alternative meeting times. Those times are completely at the discretion of the individual classes and their teachers. If classes would like to meet in person, with the proper distancing suggestions, we encourage groups to meet away from the church campus. If classes are adamant that they would like to meet in the building, we will establish a calendar and restrict building usage at alternative times to ensure adequate space for each group.
We welcome the opportunity to worship together in person. However, we do so recognizing the anxieties and realities of this pandemic. While we celebrate the chance to gather, we continue to pray for those that are unable. Please know that regardless of your circumstances or concerns, you are prayed for. We pray for God’s blessings and protection for each person and for a cure for this disease.
Despite the alterations made to our schedule, the church is still ready to serve our community. If there is a way that we can be of assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
On a Journey,
Pastor Josh
