In Person Services in the Sanctuary

Ongoing

First United Methodist Church Cross

Both the Moweaqua and Sanner Chapel congregations will be worshipping in our sanctuaries at our usual times of 8:30 am for Sanner and 10:15 am for Moweaqua. 

From Pastor Pat: I had hoped we were done with masks and distance. However, with recent surges in Corona virus, and with the information that even vaccinated people can spread Corona virus, especially the newest strain. and with the overwhelming numbers of those who are not vaccinated becoming severely ill, and in some cases dying, we have consulted with our safety committee at church, the decision has been made to strongly encourage masking while in church. Maintaining your distance is also helpful in limiting the spread of this virus. Hand sanitizing and hand washing is also still encouraged. Those who are not yet vaccinated are encouraged to get vaccinated if they are able to do so.

If you have any questions please direct them to Pastor Pat and/or the task force members as we work to follow the guidelines we have been given to keep everyone healthy and safe.

There will continue to be a time of scripture, prayer and a message live on Facebook at 9:45 a.m. Sunday mornings until further notice. The Facebook link is listed below on this page.  You can also continue to follow the self-guided worship services listed below.
