Our Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic Updated: December 2020 The church buildings have been closed from most normal business since mid-March, with the exception of the Food Closet, staff, and church leaders entering for essential business. We planned on making the West Wing and Fellowship Hall available for small groups, but the spike that began in November has made that impossible for now. We have online 10 AM worship services broadcast online [ Learn More ] and are having some indoor worship during Advent and again starting on January 10th. Staff can be reached via email or the main voicemail (203.877.4277). In all that we do, leaders are keeping four main priorities in mind: Safety: In loving God, neighbor, and ourselves, we understand safety to be the highest priority. We will make decisions on activities based on safety and, as far as we can, the orders of the state and federal government. Please let me know if you can help connect within the church community, and please help us support the church's mission in the weeks to come. | |
