Special Business Meeting: June 6 To enable us to enhance our live streaming ministry, we have a proposal from Martinsville Electronics for permanent equipment to be installed in the sanctuary. Because it is “assumption of major financial responsibility by the church” the church will be called into a Special Business Meeting on Sunday, June 6. Watch for details about this proposal for ministry to be made available soon.
Regathering Phases: Phase 3
We are excited that we have moved to Phase 3 and have resumed gathering in the sanctuary for worship! We are holding services in-person in the sanctuary while also continuing to make worship available online. You can find all of the information about our health and safety protocols on the website and in your mailbox (both physical and electronic). We need your help in keeping everyone safe as we gather. If you can help take temperatures, write down names for contact tracing, push elevator buttons, or direct worshipers to open pews, please volunteer on our website or by calling the Church Office.
