Wednesdays

Currently Operating Under Bad Weather Plan B (see below)

The Christian Education (CE) Committee, under the oversight of the Session, has authorized the resumption of Wednesday night activities.

After reflecting on the last 2 Wednesday nights we have made some modifications. Thanks to our deacons, the meal itself remains free. However, we now have a good weather plan and a bad weather plan (see below).

Either way, we need you to RSVP

Good Weather Plan A (Sunny Days)

We will eat picnic-style outside on the church green and then go inside for activities.

Meal Begins at 5:45 PM

• Pick up your prepared boxed supper under the Portico.
• Make your way across to the church green.
• Bring your own chairs and/or blankets and enjoy fellowship and meal together.
• If you are unable to eat picnic-style, there will be seating available in the gym.
• Keep it Green. Please pack out what you pack in. Trash receptacles will be available.

Activities Begin at 6:45 PM
