PAL St. B's Coordinator Needed Our current coordinator for the PAL lunches has served in that position for our congregation for many years.  We are looking for someone who would be willing to make sure that the PAL lunch spots are covered for our congregation.  Currently there are several people who are willing to help prepare the PAL lunches, we just need someone who can be the coordinator.  If you are willing to help in that way, please let Pastor Steve know.

OUTDOOR WORSHIP at 8:30 am each Sunday in the pavilion area if weather permits.  (Any mist, drizzle/rain service will be cancelled.) Please take it upon yourself to determine the proper time for you to return to in person worship.  We recommend that you do not attend this in person service if you are feeling ill or susceptible to becoming ill due to health-related issues.  Please bring your own chair or blanket.  Social distancing (6ft) is a MUST!  Families may sit together but others please sit 6 ft. apart.  Masks would be appreciated.  Hand sanitizer and masks will be available.  The bathroom will be available in church.  Please one person using the bathroom at a time.  If you are socializing following the service it is still IMPORTANT to stay 6 ft. apart.
