Because of the decreasing numbers of COVID cases, the success of vaccinations, the increased number of vaccinated persons, and the CDC’s recommendation that “If you are fully vaccinated you can resume activities that you did prior to the pandemic,” we will resume pre-covid practices beginning Sunday, July 18. This will include communing at the rail, passing the offering plate, sharing the peace, removing social distancing requirements, and no longer using masks and gloves during communion. We will continue with our Wednesday mask-only service until those attending are comfortable returning to pre-COVID worship times. We are thankful to God for granting us deliverance from this pandemic. – Pastor Bobby
