Important Faith Development News!

November 29-Dec 5 Updates

This Sunday, December 5, we return to worship inside at 9:30 and 11:30 AM. Faith Development hour is at 10:30 AM.

PreK/Nursery News

Our PreKinder and the nursery indoor spaces will open in January, including the option for children’s chapel for ages 3-5 during worship! The nursery will be available for families to use (unstaffed during January) with the ability to project the livestream of worship in the space. We ask that only families with nursery age children utilize this space and make their own decision about risks. There will be a sign-in sheet and symptom check in place.

For the month of December, families wishing to attend worship with children who are unable to mask are invited to use our comfort rooms at the back of the sanctuary if they are more comfortable with that option. (One family unit per room). All those who are old enough to mask are required to do so inside the building(s).

You can see the precautions we are taking when we reopen these spaces at the links below.
