Starting on June 5, and continuing through September 4th, we will meet for just one service each Sunday at 10 am. Sunday School will be on summer break and will return in September.
Next Sunday! Family of Faith Homecoming is Sunday, March 27. The Rev. Dr. Ted Wardlaw, president of Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, will be our preacher. We will have only one service that day at 10:00. All are invited to join us for lunch catered by Hard Eight Barbecue. There is no charge but reservations are necessary. Please use the sign-up sheet in the narthex or call Gail in the church office to make your reservation no later than noon tomorrow. Come celebrate this day with us!
Join us for our Ash Wednesday breakfast at 8:30 am on Wednesday, March 2. We will meet in Fellowship Hall for breakfast, service, and the imposition of ashes.
Starting in June, we will return to our pre-COVID style of worship streaming. We will stream only the 11 am service, and will no longer be overlaying the words to hymns and prayers on the screen. If you are still worshipping at home and would like a hymnal to sing along, call the office at 817-573-2337.We hope you’ll join us in person at 8:45 or 11:00 on Sundays if you would like, and feel well. Masks are no longer required, but if you choose to wear one, your decision will be treated with courtesy and respect.
In response to new guidance from the CDC, the Session has voted that all church gatherings, including worship, are mask optional with no stated social distancing requirements.
Anyone deciding to wear a mask is encouraged to do so and that decision will be treated with courtesy and respect. We will continue to follow CDC guidelines regarding children under 12 and our nursery protocols will remain in place. When interacting with our young children, please do be mindful that they have not had the opportunity to be vaccinated.
Beginning this Sunday, March 28, we will return to our schedule of two services at 8:45 and 11:00. Having two services will enable us to more safely distance during worship. The 8:45 service will be live streamed.
The Session has voted to resume in-person worship in our sanctuary on Sunday, March 21st!
A few important facts:
· In-person worship will be held at 10:00 AM on Sundays.
· Ushers will be on hand to help us maintain social distancing.
· Masks and social distancing will be required.
· Hand sanitizer is available for use upon arriving and departing.
We will closely monitor the number of folks who attend to ensure we are observing appropriate social distancing. If our numbers exceed social distancing requirements, overflow seating will be available in Fellowship Hall, where we will live stream the service. We will be aware of our numbers and will move to two services if necessary.
Please do not feel obligated to attend in-person worship just because the doors are open! We want everyone to worship in the manner that best fits their needs. Online worship will continue as usual. If you feel uncomfortable attending in-person worship or if you are unable or prefer not to wear a mask, we encourage you to join us online. Of course, if you are not feeling well, please remain home for the safety and well-being of everyone.
We look forward to worshipping with you all, in-person and online, starting Sunday, October 21st.
“Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!” Psalm 95:6
