COVID-19 Updates

IN-PERSON WORSHIP SERVICES AND CHURCH ACTIVITIES ARE CURRENTLY SUSPENDED, but...

We're headed in the right direction

Your Session has been working diligently toward returning to a normal "in person" church service.

Recently the state and county approved resuming "in person" services as long as state and county guidelines are followed.

You will be pleased to know that this week your Session met and approved our Church In House Guidelines that provide for the safe return to worship services.

The next step is to enlist and train a team of volunteers in the protocols necessary to have a safe return to worship. Volunteers will help screen, take temperatures, make sure the six foot spacing is maintained, etc. If you are willing to volunteer, please contact Lonna Mulkey at 707-763-4610 or email her at ldmulkey@yahoo.com.

Due to popular demand, we will continue to offer our online Zoom service in addition to in person services.

We'll keep you posted on future developments.
