Worship at 6:30 p.m. All are invited; additional seating will be available in St. Andrew's Hall. This week, we will observe the sacrament of Holy Communion in the evening service.
All Services. We are following the Centers for Disease Control guidelines for communities of faith. Attendees will be seated by ushers to observe social distancing and maximize space. At this time, nursery, child care, congregational singing/responsive readings, and Sunday School are suspended. After the services, we will have designated outdoor spaces for people to greet each other. Social distancing is still encouraged.

For those who are vulnerable/unable to attend worship services in person, we are offering an alternative communion time at 7:45 p.m. to come to the church to celebrate the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper this Sunday.
A pastor will preside over the open-air service in the grassy area on the 6th Street end of the church campus. Social distancing will be practiced, and elders helping serve will wear masks and serve individually packaged COVID-19-safe communion elements to worshipers.

Ephesians Sermon Series Begins August 2
The Church of Jesus Christ is God’s reflection of his unified and diverse nature on display to the world. His church is “God’s Enduring Community” called out of the world and called into a new family with Christ as our head. Each member is empowered by God to live for others, that we all may live for Christ. The book of Ephesians tells the beautiful eternal story of God’s love for the world. We will be studying this epistle this fall in the morning services.
