Take a Moment Prayer: Week of Jan 16
Look for this prayer each week. Take time to pray it each day and know that your church family is saying this prayer too
Creator God, I praise you in the morning. I praise you at noontime and in the evening. I praise you everytime I become aware of your presence in my life. I see your creative hand and masterful works through nature. I am aware of your care and love for me as people offer me encouraging words and acts of kindness. I hear your voice through your Holy Word, addressing my needs, confronting my sin and calling me to action. Great are You, Lord! If I stop for a moment and try with all my being to think on all Your grandeur...I cannot capture the totality, nor the depth of who You are and what You do. Yet, if I try, I am deeply moved. How blessed I am to be loved by You! My life is filled with hope and purpose because I am Yours. Hallelujah! I am a precious child of God. Amen.
From Pastor Twyla's Desk - January 2022
When a New Year arrives, many of us look back on all that took place in our lives and in our world over the past year. There are television programs to help us remember the crises and achievements that occurred in our community, nation, and world. Without looking online to be reminded of these things, what comes to the forefront of my thoughts is, once again, the COVID challenges we continue to endure. As is the case for most of us, I would like for this nightmare to end.

Guidelines for In-person Worship (Updated Mar 8, 2021)
On May 15, Governor Hogan lifted the mask mandate for the state of Maryland in conjunction with the recommendation put forth by the CDC on May 13.
Effective immediately, you will not be required to wear a mask inside the building. That being said, anyone who would like to continue wearing a mask may voluntarily do so. For those who are not vaccinated, it is strongly encouraged, but not required, that you continue to wear a mask. We do ask that everyone respect each other’s personal choice, as we all have different circumstances that contribute to that decision.
Additionally, we ask that everyone continue to practice common sense as it pertains to the health and safety of all who are in the building. Hand sanitization stands will continue to be around the building, for your use.
We do ask that anyone working with children in the building wear a mask if they are going to be within six (6) feet of the children for any length of time.
Thank you for your continued support to keep our church family safe.
Remember Philippians 2:4, "Let each of you look not to your own interests, but to the interests of others," as we move forward.
