A Reminder for Our Health Policy
Every month our boards review our health policy because of the COVID Virus. We believe the following procedures will allow us to worship and carry out our ministry without causing unnecessary risk of spreading the virus.
1. We urge everyone to pray for God's help to overcome this disease and to protect and preserve life in every way by continuing to worship and work as much as possible in healthy ways.
2. For all "in-person" activities (worship, Bible study, meetings, etc.) we ask everyone to maintain social distancing (six feet between persons/families), keeping room capacity at 25% or less, and to wear a mask when unable to maintain social distancing.
3. Anyone who has higher risk factors for COVID should worship via the FM broadcast (parking lot) or by video and/or via the Monday evening all mask, no singing communion service. If you have any flu or COVID symptoms, please worship via the FM broadcast (parking lot) or by video.
4. Please talk to the pastors if you have any questions.

Because of the rain Saturday evening we were not able to get a good video of the service.
We will live stream the 8:00 a.m. service and have the regular video ready by Sunday afternoon.
This Sunday Pastor Walther will focus on Peter's words: "...since you have been born again..." Everyone appreciates the chance for a "do over." Do we get a "do over" from God for our life?
