COVID-19 Statement March 2, 2021:
At our Session meeting on February 23rd, 2021 we discussed the option of re-opening our Sunday worship to public attendance and live-streaming our services. It was decided that although our region is no longer in “stay-at-home” we would remain closed to public worship and continue with pre-recorded worship on YouTube.
We share the concerns of the medical community regarding the danger of the spread of variants of the COVID19 virus. We will reconsider this decision regularly.
Thank you for your patience.
