Friends, we continue to evaluate day by day what our next steps will be with worship. I was in on a conference call with 250 pastors across the state with Governor Reynolds and someone asked if she thought we could worship together on Easter. She wisely made no commitment. This is all an opportunity to live as Jesus taught us a day at a time.We will keep you posted. We may try something creative for our Maundy Thursday service. Thank you for your prayers, your continued giving, and patience. ~ Pastor Dan
