connecting with our community in A time of need
Over the past several months our normal rhythms of life have been altered. Some of us may be feeling lonely and are unsure of how to navigate our responsibilities and stay safe. Some of us are enjoying the time of less activity and extra time to focus on our families. Many feel very strongly about their stance on masks. Through all of this, we are all in this together and we want to encourage one another and care for one another! Please stay connected and let us all help one another.
INDOOr SERVices and online availability
As Covid continues here in NE Ohio and there are some concerns, we want you to know that we are keeping our building open on Sundays. We believe that the church is "essential" for people's physical, spiritual and emotional health and we want to be available to you if you are comfortable meeting in person (and are healthy) while we livestream. You can join us in the sanctuary, our mask only room (the Youth Room) or online. Inside the building, our chairs are spaced at 6 feet apart and we ask that our attenders leave 2-3 seats between family groups. We sanitize the building throughout the week and we have masks and sanitizing stations available as you enter the building.
We are placing a high priority on making sure that our livestream is the best it can be so that you can feel like you are a part of things in the safety of your own home. You ARE still a part of the body and we want to love and minister to those who feel like home is the best option. You can participate in our Sunday morning service via YouTube every Sunday morning at 10:30am. (PRO TIP: If you open our YouTube channel and do not see the service right away, wait a few minutes and then refresh the web page until you see the service available).
Children's ministries are open and are meeting every other Sunday at this time (the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month). If it is an "off" week or if you want to keep your children with you - we do have activity bags available as well as seating in the Activity Center if your family would be more comfortable there. During the children's check-n process their temperature will be taken (on their wrist if you prefer) and our teachers will be wearing masks.
