At a special church board meeting on Tuesday July 6 the following changes were made to the church COVID-19 regulations. First, the requirement to wear a mask in the church building has been removed. In addition, the requirement to maintain a social distance of at least six feet within the building has also been removed. Persons are now free to enter and utilize the church building without wearing a mask and without maintaining a social distance of six feet with other persons. Of course, if individuals are more comfortable wearing a mask and maintaining social distance they are free to do so. These changes were made based on recent changes to State of Pennsylvania guidelines.

If you know of anyone who is not on the prayer chain or does not have email, please pass this information on to them.

We are looking forward to seeing all your bright, shining, smiling faces!

– Church Board

At the church board meeting on May 18 the board passed several motions changing the COVID-19 guidelines for the church. First, a motion was passed to allow for the removal of masks once a person is seated in the sanctuary for worship. Masks may be left off during the entire service, including all singing. Masks should then once again be worn when exiting the sanctuary. Secondly, a motion was passed to place all hymnals, Bibles, music books and stationary items in the racks on the back of the pews. These items had previously been removed but will now be available for use for those who feel comfortable handling them. The board then decided that these new guide-lines will be in effect beginning Sunday June 6, 2021. The board will continue to monitor the situation regarding COVID-19 and will review all existing guidelines at each church board meeting to determine future changes to the guidelines. Thank you for your patience as the board continues to address this situation in a manner that will allow all of our members to feel safe while attending services and functions in our building.
