Hello, from Pastor Adam and the Dragoon family coming to you from quarantine land. Unfortunately, we received a positive COVID for our youngest daughter this week, forcing us into sequestration for the next couple of weeks. The good news is that we only have a few mild symptoms in the house for now (scratchy throats and runny noses).

“We would genuinely appreciate your prayers as we work through this time.”

— Pastor Adam Dragoon

We have been considering how to handle in-person church services for the next few weeks since we also have a few other families in quarantine at present. At this time, we believe it is crucial to keep our doors open for those who want to join us for in-person services. Additionally, we think it is essential to keep our congregation safe from any further viral spread. So, regarding our upcoming weekend services, we want to leave the ultimate decision in your hands, with a few guidelines for you to follow. In-Person Services WILL continue to occur in our building with a live sermon piped in from the Dragoon chateau. We will temporarily tighten our entry requirements to minimize COVID contractions:

Everyone must agree to wear a facial covering at all times while in the building.
Please do not attend if you have had any trace of illness within the last 48 hours, including sore throat, elevated temperature, cough, runny nose, or other common cold symptoms.
Please do not attend if you have been in close pro-longed contact with anyone who has had common cold symptoms within the last 48 hours.
No eating or drinking in the building, except for bottled water.
Please keep physical contact to a minimum.
The maximum body temperature accepted at the front door will be 99.5°.

Thankfully, we have a few of our core families that plan to be there to support our in-person services this weekend, including the Smales, Soests, and Zapatas. They will be ensuring that the doors are open to our church family and our community. We realize that there will probably be a lower attendance than usual, so prepare your heart for a more intimate setting.

We will continue to stream our services to our online platforms for those currently under quarantine or unable to meet the guidelines above. Please join us at our Online Church Platform, on Facebook Live, or YouTube.

Here's a list of upcoming events for this weekend:

New Members / New Converts Class on ZOOM, starting at 7:30 PM tonight. Use this link to join.
