FUTURE WORSHIP GATHERINGS: Governor Reynolds has given religious institutions the authority to decide when to re-assemble but with continued guidelines in force. A taskforce of Consistory members is meeting to determine how we can re-open and ensure everyone’s safety. Once something is in place we will communicate the plan to you. But be advised, things can change very quickly and more adaptations could be made. Meanwhile we will continue to life stream our worship services. ~ Pastor Dan
