With the arrival of the coronavirus this Spring, our lives and our life together as a church have changed dramatically. Our group meetings have been cancelled, our building is locked, and worship is now something you participate in online. We so very much miss our church family gathered as we used to gather.
As Chaffee County begins to open, you may be wondering, "When do we get to go back to church?"

We will gather via Facebook Live on Sundays at 10:00 a.m. and a video of the worship time will be available here at the website by Noon on Sundays.
