Hi First Presbyterian,

This has been a busy week of deliberation and decision-making for the leadership of the church. Many of you have undoubtedly been wondering about our plans for the summer as it relates to the worship services: will we have one or two worship services? There have been many changing factors that delayed the decision-making process, including the recent changes from NY State lifting its mandatory COVID-19 safety guidelines. Yesterday, the Session approved the following recommendation from the Worship and Music Committee:

There will be one summer service at 9:30 am starting July 4 through September 5.

This means worship will occur this Sunday at 8:30 am and 10:00 am, but the following Sunday (July 4) will only have one worship service at 9:30 am. Importantly, the 9:30 am service will be livestreamed, so please take note of the earlier start time and adjust accordingly. Sunday School will continue to be offered during the 9:30 am worship service throughout the summer.

I look forward to worshiping (in-person and online) with you this weekend and over the summer!

Peace to you,

Pastor Neff
