Week of 3/21 Announcements
In-person Worship Protocols: Just a reminder that one of the best ways to show love for one another is to follow the 4W’s: 1. Wear Face Masks; 2. Wash hands; 3. Watch your 6 ft distancing; 4. Wait to visit til you are outside! The Ushers will guide you to the exit for your pew. At this time, we will continue to have song leaders and ask that you not sing during the hymns. As more of us get vaccinated this may be lifted as well.

March Mission Project - Our local mission this month is helping young families with diapers, wipes, burp cloths( if anyone wants to sew some), bottles, and other items that might be helpful.
