He is risen! He is risen indeed!! We celebrate Holy Week and Resurrection Sunday while practicing social distancing and wearing masks in public. We practice ritual handwashing and disinfect things that enter our homes. We grieve for those who have succumbed to COVID-19 and mental health issues. YET HE IS STILL RISEN.

Pastor Bruce, and our leadership team are closely monitoring information being shared about COVID-19, known as coronavirus.  At this time, Consistory President Fred Marsh has decided that we cancel fellowship/snacks following worship until further notice, but 9:00am Sunday School and 10:15am worship are scheduled as normal for the time being. 

We plan to meet Sunday, March 15 during Sunday School (9:00am) and during or after worship (10:15am) to discuss measures we will take at St. Jacob's Stone UCC to reduce or eliminate our exposure to groups of people within our church family.  While these precautions may seem a bit extensive or dramatic at times, we know that we must care for those who are sensitive to or at a higher risk of serious illness.  It is our calling to care for all of God's family.

We will continue to update here on our website and on our Facebook page.
