announcements WORSHIP…

REOPENING FOR IN-PERSON WORSHIP October 18 • 9 & 11AM We are excited to resume in-person worship. Our top priority is providing you the safest environment possible so protocols have been shaped by the guidance of our state and local leaders. To do that, we’ve adjusted our services to a 9AM traditional service in the Sanctuary and an 11AM contemporary service in the Chapel. Masks will be required while you are in the building. If you plan to join us in person, please register your attendance at stlukesumc.com/page/1017. You may also sign up for a Reopening Serve Team at stlukesumc.com/ registration/reopenvolunteer.
