INFORMATION & ANNOUNCEMENTS
Are you looking for a church home where you can make a difference for the God we serve? Where you belong and you will be known, nurtured, challenged? We welcome you and invite you to spend some time with us.
WORSHIP SAFETY GUIDELINES– Due to the substantial rate of COVID-19 community transmission, the CDC continues to recommend indoor masking in public settings for everyone. While a large portion of our congregation is vaccinated, there is a significant number of children who have not yet had the opportunity to be vaccinated, which affects the health and safety of the vulnerable and immunocompromised among us. Please wear a face mask in church, even if you are fully vaccinated.
THANKSGIVING BAKE SALE – Bid on a delicious homemade dessert made by our youth as a Christian Education fundraiser auction held today after church.
COMMUNITY THANKSGIVING – We will miss the opportunity to gather with the community again this year for our annual ecumenical worship service and supper. We look forward to worshiping alongside other churches and choirs in community again in 2022.
MAKE YOUR 2022 PLEDGE TODAY! Pledge online at www.2ndpc.org/give or fill out a pledge card and place it in the offering plate in covenant with God and one another.
