Re-Opening the Church Building Survey
As we have entered the Preparation Stage for returning to in-person worship at Shady Grove, our Healthy Church Team (formerly the Re-Opening Workgroup) is being directed by our Bishop to follow the requirements of our Conference. When we come back, we will have to function with added restrictions. This means that worship will not be as you have experienced it in the past. Your feedback is essential in helping us plan for the future. Please respond as soon as possible and no later than, Friday, May 29.
