Worship Video - June 6, 2021
Thank you for joining this online worship time for Sunday, June 6, 2021 Today the religious leaders accuse Jesus of working for Beelzebul, the chief of devils,. And his family think he is “out of his mind.” Yet Jesus continues to welcome all people in God’s love. He tells a parable to explain that he has plundered the house of the strong man, Satan, and freed all of us from the forces of evil. We will also ask God for blessing at the start of this year’s hurricane season.

We are resuming worship services in the sancturary again.
Sunday, October 4, 2020, at 9:00am
If you are uncomfortable attending worship service, remember we will still provide a weekly video, posted on Facebook and on YouTube (or on DVD if more convenient for you). These videos will include a sermon recorded live at the worship service and be available later in the day on Sundays, instead of Saturday evenings.
| We will continue to use the following guidelines to help reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19. We are implementing these guidelines to help reduce the chance of spreading COVID-19 but we all know it is impossible to totally eliminate the risk.
- All high-touch services (door handles, tops of pews, altar rail, etc) will be sanitized prior to the service. A greeter will be at the front door to welcome you and ensure that we are socially distanced outside and in the entryway before entering the sanctuary.
- Please wear a face mask, if you have one. We will have extras available at the door. The narthex will only be used for going to and from the restroom.
- Hand sanitizer and disposable face masks (if you did not bring one) will be on the table as you enter. NO bulletins will be printed as we will primarily be using the large projector screen.
- Ushers will help you to a pew with a marker that indicates designated seating. This is to ensure that we are all spaced out in the sanctuary.
- Singing and talking loudly has been shown to spread droplets into the air. so we encourage you to keep your face mask on during the service. There will be music and videos for us to listen to during the service.
- For communion, ushers will indicate when it is time for your pew to go to the front using the center aisle. At the alter rail there are 6 positions (3 on each side of the sanctuary) marked off with decorative towels. After the bread and wine are placed on the rail, you may move forward for communion. To minimize everyone touching the altar rail surfaces, we will not be kneeling.
- At the end of the service, ushers will help us all to be socially distanced as we exit the church. Fellowship will be outside in front of the church.
