Archived Congregational Communications during the Pandemic
As COVID cases began arriving in our area in early- to mid- March, we sought to keep communication going by adding a pastors’ message to each weekly e-newsletter. In the midst of rapidly changing circumstances, they’ve become one of our primary means of keeping the congregation connected and up-to-date. We’ve archived these weekly and monthly communications here to help keep a record of how our community’s life has unfolded in these past few months.
