Another big surge in COVID-19 infections in California has prompted Governor Gavin Newsom to put almost all of the state into the highest tier of pandemic restrictions. That will again preclude any indoor worship in the Fireside Room, and we probably will be locked out through the rest of the year. Colder and wetter weather will make outdoor worship in person too difficult for older people. We plan to return to weekly virtual worship with audio recordings uploaded on Saturday night. Please bear with us in these uncertain times. With the news of two COVID-19 vaccines nearing approval, we look forward to an ebbing of the coronavirus pandemic in 2021. In the meantime, celebrate the upcoming holidays safely and worship the Lord on line with us.

Peace be with you.
