Back to Church
September 20th at 9:00am
The day we are inviting one and all to reconnect with us in person or online. We will be having a special open-air worship service at the pavilion on the lawn with a larger worship team. We will be able to sing and recite together in accordance with COVID distancing requirements. We will have the entire area as disinfected and prayed over as we possibly can. Some tables are available with restriction due to spacing, but bring your lawn chairs and there is plenty of room and even parking where you can stay in your vehicle and see worship as you hear it on your FM radio in your vehicle. If you do not yet feel safe in returning to live worship, then please join us on our Facebook stream at 10:30 a.m. Live or online please pray about taking this opportunity to reconnect with the God who wants nothing more than to have a relationship with you. As a special bonus & incentive, we will be serving a free box breakfast after the worship with more details to be announced as soon as they are finalized. Questions? Call Roger Smith Svc & Missions, 559 8389 or Cheryl Smith 559 8655. The temperature should be nice, Pastor Danny will provide the message and the music will be a mix of hymns & praise music with our awesome worship team. Please join us
