We will postpone our Epiphany progressive dinner for the whole church until Sunday, Feb. 6, 5:00 pm., since covid cases are high in our area.  We'll use the same plans, but, hopefully, have a safer environment.
 

We'll start our new Sunday School study on January 9th at 9:00 am in the old kitchen.  We will be looking at the book of Esther. Check with Karen for a copy of the lessons.  According to the material,  "The book of Esther is one of the latest writings of the Old Testament, perhaps written to inspire Jews who had been scattered in the diaspora. The narrative takes place in the court of the King of Persia, King Ahasuerus. Some think that it was written to explain and establish the Jewish festival of Purim."

Join us for a special candlelight Christmas Eve service at 6PM on 12/24.  We will have a special performance by our handbell choir.  

We are being conscientious of the rising number of Covid-19 cases nationwide with the rise of a new variant.  If you are bringing guests, please remember we ask everyone to wear a mask while entering and finding their seats.  Once seated at a distance, the congregation can remove their masks.

Sunday's 12/26 10AM worship service will be in a "Lessons and Carols" format.
