To all the members and friends of Mohn’s Hill EC Church
On behalf of the staff and the members of the Ministry Council, we wish to extend our thanks to you for your patience as we slowly reopened the church for in person worship during the month of June. Your adherence to the requested guidelines was appreciated and revealed your continued love for God and others.
The Ministry Council wishes to welcome everyone to in-person Sunday School and Worship; however, if you continue to feel that our online service is the safest option for you, please continue to join us online. There is no pressure for you to come. We love and respect you and honor your decision.
Thank you again for all of your efforts in trying to keep everyone safe from Covid-19. The church staff and Ministry Council members look forward to welcoming you back.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call the office or email the staff.
