An update about Bette Gilchrist memorial meeting for worship.
The memorial meeting for Bette Gilchrist will still be at 7:00 on Friday, June 10. We regret that we will not be able to hold a reception with food and drink afterward. This is because the Covid level now needs for us to wear our masks in the meetinghouse. Please plan to join for the memorial meeting in person or by Zoom. The zoom link will go out close to the date.
