Dear Church Family, 

Both adult Sabbath School classes and the worship service are meeting at church. The adult Sabbath School class taught by Robert Westerhout is in the Junior/Earliteen room for Sabbath School and Carole Bliss’s class is meeting in the Youth room and via Zoom. The Worship service is in the Sanctuary. A Junior Sabbath School class, ages 10 -12 years, meets in the Pathfinder Room. 

There is a Del Norte County Health Order that everyone use a Face Covering (mask) in indoor public settings. The Public Health Order defines ‘Face Covering’ as a face covering that is well-fitted to an individual and covers the nose and mouth especially while talking, consistent with the Face Covering Requirements. A Well-Fitted Mask does not include a scarf, ski mask, balaclava, bandana, turtleneck, collar or a single layer of fabric, or any mask that has an unfiltered one-way exhaust valve. As a Church family we will be complying with this local Public Health Order. We are asking that everyone, vaccinated and unvaccinated, wear a mask indoors. We request that those who have symptoms that could be COVID-19 to remain at home unless they have tested negative for COVID since the onset of symptoms.  COVID-19 symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat and/or a new loss of taste or smell. Please help us to protect others. The Worship service will continue to be a combination of elements and participation both from the sanctuary and via Zoom. 

The Church has tablets available to loan for the Church worship service to those who do not have a Zoom capable device and do not choose to attend the worship service in the Sanctuary. The Worship service and the Zoom Sabbath School class are broadcast into the Church parking lot. If you want to attend the Zoom Sabbath School class taught by Carole Bliss but do not have internet or a Zoom capable device, you could come to the Church and access the class while remaining in your vehicle or come into the Youth room. Instructions can be given on how to operate the Church tablets. 

Adventist Community Services is open on Wednesdays, 1:00-3:00 pm. On Wednesday the Prayer Group brings praises and requests to our heavenly Father. We are claiming God’s promises, “Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O LORD. They rejoice in your name all day long; they exult in your righteousness.” (Psalm 89:15-16). You are welcome to join the fellowship as we seek God in prayer. The Tuesday evening Check-In, Fellowship and reading through the Gospel of Mark begins at 5:30 pm on Tuesday. We hope you will join the laughter and reflections, Jesus is present, He blesses. 

There will be a Vegan Dessert Cooking Class, Sunday, November 14, at 2:00 pm via Zoom. Please see the attached poster for more details. 

There will be a Jaime Jorge Concert in Brookings on October 27^th at 7:00 pm.
