Blue Christmas 2021

December 11, 2021 by Andrew Burd-Harris Leave a Comment

December 21, 2021 at 7 PM

During the hustle and bustle of Advent preparation, does the song lyric, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year” ever ring a bit hollow?  Maybe we are looking ahead to a “Blue Christmas,” absent of loved ones.   Perhaps the pandemic has just taken too much of a toll and we are exhausted. Or maybe every year we just struggle with the darkness of short December days.

To acknowledge this less jolly side of the holiday season, Deacon Megan is offering a meditative service of prayer and modern carols. We will remember the struggles that lie at the heart of the Christmas story.   We will remember into the darkness of daily life, the light of Christ entered the world.

*This service will not be live-streamed or recorded.

Mask Update-November 2021

November 28, 2021 by Andrew Burd-Harris Leave a Comment

Our Reopening Taskforce met on November 16. We adjusted some of our guidelines in regards to our current policies related to COVID-19. We decided to remove the tape on the pews. Everyone entering the sanctuary is encouraged to continue to social distance. We have placed signs leading into the sanctuary. The Taskforce is encouraging everyone to wear masks. Our signs now read masks are requested. Use of the social hall and kitchen is only for small parties as long as they follow church policy.
