We have now started streaming our services to our website in addition to Facebook live.  This new opportunity gives people without a Facebook account a way to join us live.  Some people have also experienced issues with the Facebook live stream and this is a second option to turn to if you run into any problems.

This past Sunday, we weren't sure we'd be able to have church.  AMC unexpectedly closed down late Saturday afternoon saying it was due to a maintenance issue.  There have been a lot of rumors going around but we spoke with the theater manager Sunday and I thought I would clear up the confusion.

I just wanted to give everyone a quick update on masks.  This past week, AMC Theatres updated it's policy on masks which are no longer required for those fully vaccinated (waiting 2 full weeks after last vaccination).  We will follow their policy for our services also.  Children are still required to wear masks as well as those not yet fully vaccinated.  If you are fully vaccinated and feel more comfortable wearing a mask or face shield, we encourage you to do so.  We look forward to seeing you soon!

It has been great to see more and more people returning to church.  Even though we are continuing to follow AMC Theatres' policies about wearing a mask until seated (even for those fully vaccinated), the recent announcement from the CDC and NY is an encouragement that things are getting back to normal.  Not only has our church attendance picked up, we are also seeing many more visitors.

Though I can both lead worship and preach, I used to find it difficult to do both in the same Sunday.  While I enjoy both, it can be hard to find a moment to take a breath!  The more I do it though, the easier it gets.

I can't believe how many people keep telling me that they saw us on channel 10 news last week!  We were one of the top stories and were highlighted on their website as well.  If you didn't get a chance to see it, you can check it out right here.

We are looking forward to supporting a Climbing For Christ Fundraiser coming up on Feb. 22nd.  Blessed Hope is providing 25 gift baskets all with different themes that will be raffled off at the event.  For $10, you get a chili lunch and 25 raffle tickets.  I encourage you to buy tickets and support this amazing event even if you can't attend.

We're excited to begin a new open house message series called, "Comeback."  This series will run all through the month of November and we're sending out 15,000 post cards this week.
