JOIN US FOR THE WELCOME BACK COOKOUT
Having had limited Sunday School classes and choir, as we begin this new academic year, ‘Welcome Back Sunday’ has never been as meaningful. Everyone is welcome to join us for a cookout to celebrate Welcome Back Sunday following Liturgy. There will be plenty of seating, inside and outside (weather permitting). Please be patient as we serve you in the buffet line. Please note: we will continue to follow CDC guidelines for the health and safety of our faithful.
SUNDAY SCHOOL TO RESUME TODAY SEPTEMBER 19
We are pleased to announce that in-person Sunday School classes begin today. The teachers and staff are excited to welcome our students back into the classroom to help them explore and grow in the faith. Masks will be required in the classroom by staff and students.
CHOIR NEEDS YOU
Please join us, no experience necessary. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact our director, Stephanie Gulezian, at stephaniegulezian@gmail.com, our organist, Marc Gulezian, at mgulezian22@gmail.com or come up to the loft and follow along with us.
NEW WI-FI
Recently new WiFi has been installed in our facility. Additionally, we have upgraded our internet to help accommodate increased use. We thank Derik and Eli Piper for installing the hardware. Log in information is posted throughout the facility.
LOWER PARKING LOT
Recently, the parish entered into an agreement with a management company to lease the lower parking lot for day parking. The parish is able to use the lot as needed for special events. Feel free to park in the lower lot on Sundays for services without charge. We will open the gates at the top of the hill on Sundays.
COVID PROTOCOLS FOR CHURCH CONTINUE
Especially now with the uptick in COVID cases, as we continue to gather for worship we ask that you follow the CDC guidelines. Those who are vaccinated, masks are optional. Those who are not fully vaccinated are strongly encouraged to continue mask usage to help protect themselves and others, especially our children. Children 2 years and older are strongly encouraged to wear masks. You are welcome to seat yourself as you enter the church. As you move around the facility, please keep social distancing in mind.
We are excited to welcome you back for worship as you feel comfortable. We are also excited to begin reinstalling many of our ministries and events. Please offer your assistance as we begin the process of ramping up our calendar.
