January 16, 2022 Announcements

Covid 19 UPDATE:

Recently there was a major increase in the number of new Covid 19 cases due to the new Omicron variant.  Our county is currently at the Red Level, which means the highest level of risk of infection.  Your Session again examined our current situation and decided the following:

1. We will continue meeting in person and via Zoom.
2. We will STRONGLY ENCOURAGE everyone meeting in person to wear a mask and to observe social distancing protocols.  We also understand that some pre-existing health issues make this difficult, if not impossible, for some.
3. We will continue supporting everyone’s right to make their own decisions, while also reminding everyone to keep their fellow sisters and brothers in Christ in mind.
4. Most important of all, we will continue praying the Lord will protect our church, its members, our community, and our country.  May this virus die out soon!

Thank you for your support and understanding!
