Due to limitations on gatherings, we replaced our evening service with a time of prayer and gathered in the parking lot.

Due to limitations on gathering, we cancelled our beloved Sunday evening worship service. In its place, the pastors were available to pray with anyone who came to church from 5:00-7:00 PM on Sunday evenings. We called it “Park & Pray.” People would stay in their cars and pastors would approach them to chat and then pray. This was especially meaningful to people who were isolated all week and wanted someone to talk with face-to-face, but from a safe distance.
