The church council will meet on June 16 to discuss how we continue to move forward.<br>As we will not be worshiping in person, this Sunday&#8217;s worship will include the communion liturgy. I invite and encourage you to commune in your home with appropriate elements. Further instructions will be sent to you shortly.<br>If you know of anyone who has not been able to access these worship services and\/or midweek reflections, please let me know.
