COVID-19 Updates

Limited in-person worship is now available. You can also livestream services Sunday morning or watch them during the week on our YouTube channel.

  • As of August 6, 2021, masks are required at church even if you have been fully vaccinated. Our COVID Team reinstated this safety protocol in keeping with current guidance (CDC, WI Churches, LaX). Help us love and protect the most vulnerable among us: children, the elderly, and immune-compromised. As Jesus says, “whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me” (Mt 25:40).
  • No sign-up for Sunday services is required. Please practice safe distancing while at church and complete a blue attendance card.
  • Read how to participate in limited in-person worship.

Worship for Sunday, October 17, 2021 (Shine 5)

Sunday, October 17, Pastor Park Hunter preaches “Blinded by the Light,” based on Acts 1:1-9. Exposure to the Light of Christ can be blinding… but that’s when God can go to work giving us true sight. Damascus Road moments are uncomfortable, but they can lead to great things as we follow Jesus’ call. This is the fifth of seven Sundays in our Fall sermon series, “Let It Shine!”

Jessica Gobel shares a Kids Message; then younger kids can go to Sunday School. Peggy Beahm shares a God Moment about Stephen Ministry.

Cory Groves, Sandy Koster, Peg Benz, and the mini choir lead hymns and share special music at the 8:30a Classic service. Zoe & Melissa de Boer, Pam Klinger, and Cathy Novy lead music at the 11:00a Praise service.

Masks are required for all who come to live worship, vaccinated or not. This is in response to current increased threat from COVID variants. You do not need to pre-register, and singing is allowed. Worship services are also livestreamed on our YouTube channel.

Here’s how to participate…

  • Show up for safe, in-person worship. We ask everyone to wear masks to protect children, the elderly, and those with compromised immune systems. Fill out a blue attendance card at church.
  • Live stream worship for 8:30 and 11:00 services from our YouTube channel.
  • Download and print the worship slides so you can follow along… 8:30 slides or 11:00 slides (PDF).
  • During worship, text requests to 608-304-7214.
  • Give electronically, or contact the office to request mail-in giving envelopes.

Worship for Sunday, October 10, 2021 (Shine 4)

Sunday, October 10, Pastor Park Hunter preaches “Light is the Best Disinfectant,” based on 1 John 1:5-9. Justice Louis Brandeis famously said, “Sunlight is the best disinfectant.” Our sin is the darkness we scurry about in, like insects under a rock. But God is Light, and cleanses us from sin. This is the fourth of seven Sundays in our Fall sermon series, “Let It Shine!”

Jessica Gobel shares a Kids Message; then younger kids can go to Sunday School. During the God Moment we’ll celebrate milestones in our food pantry outreach.

Cory Groves, Sandy Koster and the Chancel Choir lead hymns and share special music at the 8:30a Classic service. Zoe & Melissa de Boer, Pam Klinger, and Cathy Novy lead music at the 11:00a Praise service.
