November 25, 2020 by
Our annual Thanksgiving Eve Service is at 6:00 PM, on Wednesday (yes, Thanksgiving Eve). Even in 2020, the year of COVID, we still have much for which to be thankful. Though, following health protocols, we ask those who come to sit six feet from other worshipers.

Our Sunday Services and Sunday School are back to “normal,” that is, COVID-19 normal. Our pastor was under quarantine because he was exposed to the virus during his pastorly duties.

Both Sunday School and the Divine Service are cancelled for October 11. Four of our parishioners are now positive for the Coronavirus.

September 21, 2020 by
The first time someone stepped into the arena to preach Jesus, he wanted all to understand—this Word of Christ is for everyone! Such a day, which some christen as the birthday of the Church.

To Isolate or Not, Such is Our Reality
August 30, 2020 by
This is our pastor’s article for the September edition of our congregational newsletter. The Old Testament doesn’t view life and death as mere biological facts. Read Scripture, and you will find both death and life as an interpretive lens to help understand reality. Within the words of Scripture, life flows with fruitfulness and abundance, for […]
Getting Back to Normality Despite COVID, or at Least, Trying
June 23, 2020 by
A couple of weeks ago, a member of our congregation approached me. In short, she shared with me her assessment of our COVID-19 prevention practices.
