- Each family will be asked to make a reservation for the service they wish to attend to allow for social distancing.
- We are asking that each congregant self-monitor for symptoms of Covid.
- All congregants attending services in the building will be expected to:
- use hand sanitizer when entering the building,
- wear a mask while in the building (one will be provided if you don’t have one).
- maintain “social distancing” guidelines at all times.
- We ask that children remain with their families (will will not be staffing Nursery or Grace Kids at this time).
- We will be asking all in attendance to leave the sanctuary as soon as the service ends so that we can clean and prepare for the next service.

Update from Pastor Wes |

My Dear Brothers and Sisters,
So, it seems to me that Fall has finally come. This past weekend one of my boys was home for a visit and we had the opportunity to get out and enjoy a sunny Saturday and the beautiful foliage our Lord has provided for us here in the Hudson Valley.
So… I thought this week I’d provide you an update on our Sunday morning services. Since June 21st we’ve hosted in person services at 9:00 am and 11:00 am. The first service is still being broadcast live over the web and later it’s put on our website for those who want to watch it at another time. In an attempt to provide as Covid safe environment as possible, we followed the NYS Health Department and CDC guidelines which required that we wear masks and maintain a six-foot social distancing standard. These rules made it necessary to limit the number of people at each service. We established a reservation system and set our limit at 70 people per service so that we might have some “wiggle room” in the event that someone forgot to sign up or we had a visitor from the community.
It’s been a blessing to watch the slow and steady increase in attendance. We gone from a total of 48 people to over a hundred between the two service. Over the past three weeks we’ve settled in at just shy of 100 people. Since we return to the building we’ve averaged about 53 people at the first service and 26 people at the second. This means that we still have plenty of room to accommodate those who may want to come out and be a part of communal worship. After each service I watch folks gather, masks and all, to share in a time of fellowship. We are blessed to be able to gather even in these difficult days… and we’re blessed to have one another.
So, I thought you might find that interesting and maybe, just maybe you’ll think about coming out and joining us on Sunday mornings if you aren’t already. You’ll be an encouragement to your brothers and sisters in Christ if you bring a mask…and a heart that wants to offer praise to our Lord… We’re always better when we’re all together.
Remember your loved and never forgotten. Hope to see you soon.
In Christ’s love,
Wes Smith
