New Announcements & Reminders
Worship Transition Team Update 8.11.21
 
A lot has happened in the past few days that will impact our plans for worshiping in person. The state is requiring masks indoors, the state synod recommends getting a vaccine and wearing a mask when indoors, and local hospitals are expecting to be well beyond capacity by labor day.
 
The Worship Transition Team is reassessing the next steps. Stay Tuned. 
 
Update on Pastor David's 10 Year Celebration
Pastor David's 10 Year Celebration on September 19, 2021, will now take place on Zoom. We are no longer having the celebration in person because we want to keep our community safe and healthy. 
 
Every wondered what Weird Church could be like?
Join us as we celebrate the blessing of David's 10 year anniversary with Community of ChristChurch. Enjoy special speakers, a special service, special songs and more! 
Stay tuned for more details on how to participate in this virtual celebration soon.
