“COME, LET US WORSHIP AND BOW DOWN”
The last time we worshiped together as a church body was March 14!
Since Governor Hogan has lifted the “stay at home” ban, we can again worship together with some restrictions.
In order to protect each other, masks must be worn inside and we are asking that we only sit in every other pew to keep our physical distancing.
If these restrictions make you feel uncomfortable, we understand. They are new to us too, and hopefully will be temporary.
We respect you and your concerns. We are doing everything to make sure you are comfortable and safe.
For this Sabbath there will be one adult Sabbath School class in the sanctuary and no children’s program.
A basket will be provided as you leave at the end of the service for your offerings.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for your faithfulness and support.
