We will be to begin allowing limited attendance in person at worship starting with 10 folks on Sundays in July. To attend in person, please sign up here: Worship Sign-up Sheet, or contact the church office.

Starting in July we will begin allowing 10 or so people to attend Sunday Worship in the sanctuary. Our Online option, the Zoom feed, is not changing. Folks in the sanctuary will be able to see and be seen by those joining via Zoom.

To limit the risk of exposure to the coronavirus during worship, we will be implementing a variety of precautions and procedures.

  • Attendees at worship will be asked to use hand sanitizer, wear masks, and not attend if exhibiting symptoms of covid-19.
  • We will all practice social distancing during the worship service.
  • We will not linger inside or host coffee hour after the worship service.
  • We will not pass offering plates, share bulletins, bibles and hymnals.
  • We have acquired individually wrapped and sealed communion elements for times when we share the Lord’s Supper.
  • Worship attendees may be asked not to sing to prevent a possible spread of the virus.
  • We will clean and sanitize high touch surfaces before and after the service.

Our Helping Hands ministry is still helping individuals and families to get access to food and or auto fuel during this covid-19 time.

Additionally, we are partnering with the food shelf of Trinity Episcopal Church in Houghton, providing vouchers for fresh produce at Jim’s Food Mart.

Trinity’s food pantry is open the first and third Thursday of every month from 10:30-12(ish).

Our New Beginnings Angel Mission Free Store in Calumet is still providing food through its food shelf. During this time, Angel Mission is open Wednesday and Saturdays 11a.m.-2 p.m. for the food pantry and donation drop off.
