Our churches faithfully worship Christ regardless of the challenges we face.  Yet, in an emergency we may have to adapt our schedule for everyone’s safety and welfare.  If services are interrupted, please worship at home or in small groups and be alert to the needs of others.  Your church cares for every member and the community we serve for Jesus.
