As we worship together on Sundays, we ask that you remember to do the following to keep everyone safe during the pandemic:
Please note: Please bring your printed emailed Order of Worship with you to the service. There will not be copies available. PLEASE NOTE: We will be serving the Lord’s Supper by inviting first the Northside pews to come forward 2 pews at a time and receive the elements, after everyone on the Northside has received their bread and wine/juice, we will then invite those in the Southside pews to come forward to receive their bread and wine/juice. We will move from the front to the rear. Thank you.

UPCOMING SERVICESNext Sunday, October 4th We continue our series on The Gospel by reflecting on 2 Timothy 2:1-13 Entrust the Gospel. We have been given the wonderful news of Jesus Christ and how he has saved us from sin and death and equips us for serving him. Paul calls us to entrust this good news with others who will continue to teach and share this good news with even more people who will then share the good news with more people that they know! The question we should be asking ourselves is: can I be entrusted with the good news so that it will continue to be shared?
