• 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.

Scripture Reading
Luke 2:
8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”
16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.
