2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Our Governor announced updated guidelines regarding social distancing and other directives we need to embrace. The link to those updated guidelines is https://www.wcvb.com/article/gov-baker-bans-gatherings-of-over-25-people-orders-school-closure-restaurants-take-out-only/31649005 which limits public gatherings to 25 people.
Due to these new guidelines we are suspending all church gatherings through at least April 17th. We will not be gathering at the church for Sunday services, Sunday school classes, youth group, Wednesday Bible study, choir rehearsal or any other scheduled event until the Governor’s ban has been lifted. This also includes the upcoming Scout dinner and breakfast. Lifetouch Directory Pictures have been postponed to a later date in September.
Those involved in ministries and in church leadership met after service. We exchanged various ideas of what we can do to continue ministry and to assure spiritual needs are met during this uncharted time. We are taking those ideas and are processing them into a workable reality. I remain available to speak with anyone with needs or concerns.
We will put together a worship service that will be meaningful. We are planning to use our Facebook page and Website to make these services available to you.
At this time, the church office will be open to take your phone calls, prayer requests and other concerns.
The question has come up about worshiping God in our tithes and offerings. We do not have online giving option available. You are such a generous and faithful congregation. During this period of time we encourage you to mail in your checks or use your Bank’s online Bill Pay services.
Thank you for your understanding, prayers and cooperation during this uncertain time. Please read Philippians chapter 4 and 2 Timothy 1:17. In these uncertain times turn your heart to a known God who will be with each of us and help us in this challenging time.
Serving Our Savior

Palms for Palm Sunday
Are you ready for a drive by palm?
What is Palm Sunday without Palms? We have the solution. Come for your Drive By Palm.
This Palm Sunday is most unusual. Whoever thought that we would not be able to physically come together to celebrate the triumphant entry of Christ into Jerusalem. How can we join in together in the parade of palms? Though physically we are not here we can do this together spiritual.
Tradition says we need palms.
We are pleased to announce to you that you may come by the church and pick up a palm that has been blessed and consecrated on Palm Sunday, April 5th from 9am - 1pm, these are your Drive by Palms.
The palms will be left on a table in front of the church. If you feel safe and able, please drive by the church and pick up your palms.
We will have followed all the best safe practices by handling the palms with gloves. The palms will be spread out so you can take the one you would like without touching the others.
May God’s blessing continue to be on us as we celebrate our savior together.
God bless you and be safe.
