Sunday Worship 10:30 AM
COVID Worship Precautions
Out of an abundance of concern for our community, the direction of the COVID Task Force is:
• For Worship, we are requiring everyone to continue to wear a mask.
• At other times during the week, and with other groups, we recommend wearing a mask, and individual groups may require masks for their participants.
• During coffee hour, we ask that you try to stay socially distant at 3 feet, and wear a mask when you are not actively drinking or eating.
We are keeping fellowship lists for contact tracing should that ever be necessary.
Please remember that the guidance from authorities changes regularly, and this direction from the Task Force will most likely change.
Thank you for your patience and support during these very difficult times.

Church family: for some people, these two words are synonymous. For others, the family in which they grew up included a particular church, the celebrations and familiar feel of church. For some, the words conjure up a closed picture of a clan you have to be born or marry into. But that is not us.
At Savage Memorial, we are proud to be a church family. For us, that means people of all generations are valued and included. That means the ties of love are continually extended to include new life, new people, new experiences. Church family means we eat together, celebrate together, cry together, and grow together in faith.
We welcome folks of every worldly condition into our church family, regardless of race, age, physical ability, sexual orientation, ethnic origin, or economic condition. We are committed to the grace of openness in extending the fellowship of Christ to all persons.
We are members of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), and as such are a worship-centered, Biblically-ordered, and Spirit-led expression of the larger church. Connections to other believers, congregations, and ministries keep us personally involved with Christ’s worldwide work. In worship, fellowship, and mission, we joyfully give all praise and honor and glory to God.
Our people are connected to the world and our communities. Thoughtful awareness and genuine engagement with the workings of the world are valued here. We come from around the corner, across the country, and the world over, and we relish the diversity of a family with broad roots. Our dedication has long been captured in the line – To the Glory of God and the Service of our Community. Yes, that’s us.
We invite you to join us as we offer ourselves to God and are prepared for God’s service in the world. There is a place for you at our family table.
Shalom – Chris Grewe, pastor
