There will be no coffee served, but you are welcome to bring your own cup of java in your own travel mug. 

PARKING LOT WORSHIP 10:00 AM
  • Worship begins at 10:00 am
  • Since worship begins at 10:00 please plan to arrive by 9:45 am.
  • Enter the parking lot from the southernmost driveway, closest to door C/Preschool Entrance and Cummins.
  • When you do arrive you'll be directed to your pew, or rather your parking spot, by an usher.
  • Once you are parked, please be aware of other cars pulling in and their need to get safely to a parking spot. Please, do not gather in parking spaces designated for cars to park. This makes it very difficult for our ushers to find adequate spaces for our attendees and can be a safety risk for drivers trying to get parked.
  • BULLETIN: Be sure to print the bulletin for the service (we will have a limited number to pass out). 
  • We will be using a transmitter that will allow you to listen to worship through your speakers. Tune into 88.9 FM
  • If you are able, drive your shortest vehicle
    (height-wise) to allow for the best viewing for those behind you.
  • Feel free to bring a chair to sit closer in the designated seating area.
  • In the spirit of keeping us all safe, we ask that you please practice safe social distancing.

Join Pastor Brice on the first Thursday each month and the third Monday each month from 10:00-11:30 am on the patio at the North Oaks Bruegger’s. Grab a bagel and a cup of coffee and spend some time in conversation on their patio. Pastor Brice will be there at 10:00-11:30am. Won’t you join us? ​
