*PLEASE READ OUR REOPENING INFORMATION*

ReOpening Protocol 10/21/21

Being able to worship together again on Sunday mornings is not only spiritually fulfilling but paramount in being able to reconnect with one another and with God.  

In light of this, the Re-Opening committee will continue to meet and adjust our Covid protocols. 

  In concurrence with the Church Council and the Deacons, we believe that our established protocols will help ensure all our members and visitors will stay safe while worshipping with us and will allow us to continue to worship in-person each Sunday!   

At the same time, we are aware that our church family includes children who are unable to be vaccinated, as well as those whose vaccination status is compromised because of health issues.  

Recognizing the increasing number of Covid cases in the Manchester area, including breakthrough cases of those who are vaccinated, we urge you to follow the protocols that have been established.  Should you contract Covid following attending worship, please contact our pastoral staff.  For more information: Factsheet_for_People_Who_are_Close_Contacts.pdf (nd.gov)  

  Let's continue to gather safely every Sunday and find the strength and guidance from God that we all need during these uncertain times.  

*************************** 

     Masks are strongly urged to protect everyone,  following CDC recommendations. 

  Social distancing indoors should be practiced. (Feel free to greet one another outdoors) 

  If ramp access is needed, please ring the bell. 

Offerings may be left in the box located in the narthex and plates by the exit doors. 

  Hand sanitizer and wipes will be available. 

People may seat themselves in open pews - Do not sit in pews with "X". 

The Cradle Room is available but not staffed. 

   We look forward to seeing everyone but urge you not to congregate inside the building at this time. 

Thank you, The ReOpening Task Force, 10/21/21 

Holly Berry Fair Overstock Sale!

Join us in the Dining Room after Worship Dec. 5th!

2022 Stewardship Campaign!

The Stewardship Committee has mailed the 2022 Pledge Forms.  We are at 95% of our Financial Goal of $160,000.  Our second goal this year is to hear from everyone.  We have only heard back from 100 of the 200 letters sent.  Please pledge if you are able, but we understand that some have limited resources and can indicated you will "give as you are able."  Your response indicates that we reached you and you enjoy receiving our mailings.  To be taken off the active Membership role, please notify Linda.
