Dear Friends,
My prayers continue for you all during this time of COVID 19. Specifically, I’m praying for you for strength, endurance, patience, good health, and safety. If another prayer request or need should arise, please let me or the church office know and we will hold that in prayer as well. Remember that the Holy Spirit intercedes for us when we have no words and that God sees you in your context and hears your prayers whether spoken or unspoken.
We are following the guidelines from the State of Washington and the CDC with regard to meeting and gathering in person. For now, there are several opportunities to meet via Zoom. Connection is important and the first part of each Zoom is intentionally designed foster checking in and staying connected. We also know that screen fatigue is real. People are exhausted. Kids are exhausted. We feel the stress and we hold tight to God’s promise to walk this journey with us.
Zooms for Kids: All are welcome to join these Zooms as you are able.
- Sundays 9:00 a.m. - Sunday School for Young Children through Fifth Grade

- Wednesday’s 6:15 p.m. - Children’s Choir
