Come join our Service this Sunday, November 6th, 11am by Zoom or in person wearing an N95 or KN95 mask.
Come join us for music (three “soul” hymns) for comfort and entertainment on this pre-election Sunday by Richard Thieret. Whether you believe in the soul or not, Richard hopes to pique your interest in soulful matters by presenting the wide variety of definitions and functions ascribed to the soul by philosophers, faiths and texts. He hopes to see you with or without a soul this Sunday.
MASK NOTES: Our board is still requiring KN95 or N95 masks (NO FABRIC MASKS, and no surgical masks, either) of folks entering the building for Sunday services or to use the restroom when we have outdoor events. We have many folks who truly appreciate us flipping the “usual narrative.” Usually Zoom is for those who are at risk where in-person places are not safe for them. At the fellowship, we’re doing Zoom for anyone who doesn’t want to wear a nk95 or n95 mask thus keeping the fellowship safe for the most vulnerable. We do, however, allow our presenters to unmask when speaking in the front of the fellowship if they wish.
