Cancelled Services
Due to the rise in COVID19 cases in our area, all church services are cancelled for at least two weeks. We will continue to monitor the number of cases and keep everyone updated. You can still watch the 11AM service live on our Facebook page, on SCTC Channel 30 Wednesday's at 6:45PM and Thursday's at 10:00AM, and at the "Worship At Home" tab after Monday morning.
Please continue to pray for relief for COVID19 and a return to normalcy.
Poinsettia Order Time...
It's getting close to that time of year when we order poinsettias to decorate our Sanctuary for the Christmas Season. With the uncertainty that comes with COVID-19, we want to give everyone time to order in memory or honor of a loved one. Even if we're not having in-person worship by the time the poinsettias come, we will notify all of those that ordered to come by the church to pick their poinsettias up to enjoy at their home for Christmas. The cost of the poinsettias this year is $6 each. All orders must be turned into the office no later than December 4th to make sure we meet the cutoff time. You may pay for those by mailing the order in, dropping those off by the church office during business hours, or through PayPal. Don't forget to include a message in memory or in honor of someone so we can include that in our bulletin (if in-person), E-Letter, and monthly newsletter.
