ATTENTION: During this COVID-19 crisis, as we begin to phase back into small capacity public visitations/services, your help is needed in limiting and controlling the number of people allowed at services. There is a limit of people allowed at the church. This includes All the family & All the church personnel, in addition to space left for friends & organizations. To best prepare for the services, if you have not already indicated your intent to the family to attend, Please make the family aware if you are coming to any of the services, which one(s), and with how many people. If you do not have the family's information to contact them, contact the church for further direction. There is strict social distancing the church has in place that must be followed as they specify. And there will not be access to all areas of the church. So please plan accordingly & please carefully follow all directions given on the day of services. Thank You in advance for following directions, so as to make all go smoothly on the day of the services, to eliminate further burden on the family, and to maintain the health & safety of all. All are appreciative of all for respecting & following any/all policies & laws if you plan to attend. Thank you so kindly!
