After nearly six months of being closed, we are sure you are just as excited as we are! We do have many COVID-19 mitigation measures in place to keep us all healthy as we come back together again, including:
- Face masks are required.
- Social distancing and maximum attendance is in place. Check the Facebook page of the chapel service you would like to attend for reservation information.
- Child care is not currently available. Religious Education classes and Auxiliary groups are not currently meeting.
- Hand shaking and fellowship times is not currently taking place.
We ask that if you are feeling ill, have a fever, or have been in contact with a COVID-19 positive individual, please stay home. It may sound like a lot of restrictions, but these measures will allow us to continue meeting safely in person.
For those not ready to return to in-person services just yet, we will be live streaming many of chapel worship services and continuing to provide other virtual opportunities for personal worship. Visit our ⚠ Facebook page, as well as our ⚠ YouTube Page where you will find a diverse library of sermons, music, prayer, and other resources to support your personal faith practices.
