THE 14TH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST

Newsletter – If you have a news item, report, photo, story, or joke to contribute to the September issue of the Newsletter, please get it to Lisa Sneesby (bsneesby@mymts.net) by next Sunday, the 18th.  We are aiming to have the Newsletter ready for distribution the following Sunday, the 25th, a week before our Communion Sunday on the 2nd of October.

Protocols Dropped – The Session has decided to discontinue the remaining pandemic protocols for our Sunday services.  Among other things, this means that we will go back to using hymnbooks and pew Bibles, and gathering the Offering the way we used to do.  Those who wish to continue wearing a mask and/or using hand sanitizer should feel free to do so, however.  Similarly, those who feel uncomfortable shaking hands with others should feel free not to do so.
