GOOD NEWS>>>> The ushers are once again greeting everyone at the doors and handing out
bulletins. We are no longer requiring social distancing in the pews, but there is plenty of space to do so if you wish. Windows and doors are open and ceiling fans are circulating air. We have a "passing of the peace" time of greeting our pew neighbors. Hugs, hand shaking or elbow bumping is your own decision. Also, the offering plates are being passed through the congregation.
However, If you are not fully vaccinated, please wear a mask for the continued good health of our community, especially for the younger children!
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The sidewalk, parking lot entrance and cement work and lot paving is done. We will not be driving on the new asphalt until it has had time to properly cure. Probably will be ready on Thursday, July 29th if the temperature cools down this week as expected!! We are also waiting for the paint striping to be completed.
UPCOMING DATES:
UMW Mini Bazaar and Bake Sale on the sidewalk in front of the church at Sidewalk Sales on
August 20-21.
If you would like to help, please contact Mary Spanburg.
Homemade baked goods are
especially welcome as well as any summer-themed crafts or treasures!
