As you've likely seen, the county signed a public health order requiring respirators (or well-fitting face covering) beginning today. We've consistently tried to follow local guidelines, so we encourage everyone to do so during worship while this order is in effect. We'll provide more details in the coming days for how the order affects other church activities.

We know there are differing views on the response to COVID within our congregation. Some think we should have done this sooner; others wish we would not follow the order. Throughout this pandemic, we've worked hard to keep our differences on this matter from dividing us. In a nation that is quickly doing just that, we believe it's important for us to show that Christ is greater than our views on these things.

We're praying for you; please pray for us as we seek to shepherd this congregation.
