COFFEE ON THE GROUNDS!
September 20, 2020 | Communion, 8:30am October 11 & 18, 2020 (Drop-in, 8-10am) You may recall a day where coffee and worship just "went together" - oh, how we miss those pre-virus days! But never fear: such opportunities are back once again! We are starting "Coffee on the Grounds" as a way to gather on the Church's front patio in a socially-distanced, masked, and SAFE way! Bring your cup of coffee and a chair as we huddle up for prayer, discussions and to just connect! We'll even have circles on the ground so everyone will know the lines we need to stay within... we're calling them PODS! Would love to hear from you! Make plans to join us; our group is limited to 50 people and we'd love to welcome you into our gatherings! |

To adhere to social distancing, walk-ins will be allowed, however: all donors are strongly encouraged to have a scheduled appointment (appointments can even be made the day-of).
