See below for Sunday’s bulletin , children’s and youth activity sheets, and the Gospel for 11/15 to be used in this Monday’s Gospel gathering @ 12:00 PM  Zoom meeting.

As of now, it appears we may have one more opportunity to worship outdoors this Sunday and that will be our plan. (Bring a chair and face mask)

As such, we will take this opportunity to celebrate the sacrament of Holy Communion. Again, for those who worship online via Facebook, please contact the church (319) 643-5998 or email Paula ([email protected]) or Pastor Chad ([email protected]) if you would like to pick up a prepackaged cup of grape juice and small wafer or to have one delivered to you.

Here is a link to this morning’s worship. Enjoy!

With the forecast of near freezing temperatures overnight, precipitation in the form of rain and even one beginning with the letter “s” we won’t even mention because none of us are ready for it yet, we will forego outdoor worship tomorrow. In the event conditions prove otherwise, we will communicate accordingly. Join us live on Facebook at 9:30 AM.
