We thank God that Covid-19 cases have gone down, and that general immunity to this virus in our communities is high due to vaccinations and those who have already contracted the virus. With this in mind, masks are now optional throughout the church building. For the time being Pastor Krenz and those assisting with communion will continue to wear masks when distributing the Lord’s Supper. In addition, Pastor Krenz and the field workers will also be masked when greeting people after each worship service in the church entryway (narthex). At the next elders meeting the return to the altar area for the Lord’s Supper will be discussed. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
