Join us for our "Back to Church" celebration of Holy Eucharist for the 16th Sunday after Pentecost, with outdoor reception afterwards. We hope you can join us for worship and fellowship and to hear what we have planned for the Fall.
Our LIVE service begins at 11am. Thanks be to God that COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths in Clarke County continue to remain low. However, transmission rates of the Delta variant are on the rise, so masks are now required again for all in-person worshippers. Masks are available in the Narthex and hand sanitizer throughout the church.
If you are more comfortable continuing to keep your distance, we understand.
You can still join us for online worship, via Zoom, using the following link:
