• We will be continuing to worship in the Fellowship Hall at 10:00 and we’d love to have you join us if you are able.
• Remember, there is no Sunday School. We will be starting at 10:00 a.m.
• If you’re not planning on attending, please know you are loved and missed but we understand and we will continue posting these services for the foreseeable future.
• If you are planning on attending, or when you decide to return, here are a few things you need to know.

  1. We will be worshiping in the Fellowship Hall so we can social distance.
  2. We have the chairs measured out to maintain social distancing, please do not move them. We have chairs in pairs and singles.
  3. We will be wearing masks while entering, exiting and moving around the sanctuary. If you have one please bring it. If not we will provide one.
  4. I know we are a close knit community of believers, but for the time being, please refrain from handshaking and hugging.
  5. I know these rules may seem restrictive, but we feel they are important steps to take, so that we can return to a more normal form of worship sooner and to protect the health of the people we love.

Scripture Reading

John 1:In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

There was a man sent from God whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.

The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name,he gave the right to become children of God— 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.

14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
