A Few Reminders About In-Person Worship:
• We will be continuing to worship in the Fellowship Hall at 10:00 and we’d love to have you join us if you are able.
• Remember, there is no Sunday School. We will be starting at 10:00 a.m.
• If you’re not planning on attending, please know you are loved and missed but we understand and we will continue posting these services for the foreseeable future.
• If you are planning on attending, or when you decide to return, here are a few things you need to know.
- We will be worshiping in the Fellowship Hall so we can social distance.
- We have the chairs measured out to maintain social distancing, please do not move them. We have chairs in pairs and singles.
- We will be wearing masks while entering, exiting and moving around the sanctuary. If you have one please bring it. If not we will provide one.
- I know we are a close knit community of believers, but for the time being, please refrain from handshaking and hugging.
- I know these rules may seem restrictive, but we feel they are important steps to take, so that we can return to a more normal form of worship sooner and to protect the health of the people we love.
This Sunday!

Scripture Reading
Ephesians 5:1-20
21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— 30 for we are members of his body. 31 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” 32 This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
6:1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— 3 “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”
4 Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.
