MAY 22 NOISY OFFERING TOTAL!
Thanks to everyone who contributed to the May 22 Noisy Offering.  The kids collected $159.47 for the excellent work of South East Linn Community Center. And, since every $1 donated gives the ability to purchase $10 worth of food from HACAP, that means we can provide $1594.70 in food! Wow!

THANK YOU, SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS!
Thank you to everyone who helped teach Sunday School this year!
Julia Andrews, Shane Austerman, Kristi Karwal Clark, Sue Deibner, Daniel Riechers, Emily Walsh and Jonathan Walsh


ON SITE WORSHIP & MASKING GUIDELINES 
The Session of First Presbyterian Church has made decisions regarding gathering and masking in accordance with CDC guidelines. 

The Community Levels metric takes into consideration whether or not local hospitals are under strain fro COVID-19. In counties where the level is Low or Medium, wearing a mask is optional. Linn County is currently at Medium Community Level as determined by the CDC. Wearing masks at church is  OPTIONAL. KN95 masks for adults, youth and children are provided by the church for anyone who prefers to wear one.
