Outdoor Worship at 10am in the Outdoor Chapel!
 We ask that all people who attend worship wear masks at all times and are socially distanced from others. Able bodied worshippers are asked to bring their own chairs and pew cushions. Families may sit together in the pews or in their own chairs. There will be no singing at this point. Please enter the front of the church and walk back to the outdoor chapel and leave the same way, with masks and socially distanced.
The worship service will be live streamed at the same time as outdoor worship and will be available on Facebook, YouTube and the RUMC website.
If the weather on Sunday is 60 deg. or below, rained the night before, or is raining, we will not have worship in the outdoor chapel. The service will be live streamed. We will not meet in the Sanctuary at this time.Opening for worship is an ongoing process that will be evaluated as we go along!
