CHURCH FAMILY
We are aware of the CDC’s updated recommendation to vaccinated adults this week and we rejoice in this progress! Because our congregation includes a mix of adults and children, we will consider the advice of state and local health officials when it becomes available. We will continue to monitor the situation, but would like to discuss this subject in person at our next meeting.
* Prayer Line * 453-2288 * Our prayer line is always available to take your prayer requests, or to listen to prayer updates. After the recorded message, you may leave your prayer needs for our intercessors, who will pray for you. Identifying yourself is optional.
