We urge those who are medically fragile or are uncomfortable being indoors to continue worshipping online (There will be a live stream of the worship service).  Anyone attending in-person gatherings at Maple Ave. will be expected to wear a face covering (over the nose and under the chin), keep a physical distance of 6 feet or greater between other households and follow our other protocols.  As always, anyone who does not feel well (fever, shortness of breath, new or worsening cough) should stay home.  

Angel Tree:  This year we are collecting gifts to help foster children in Cobb County.  The supply list is available online.  CLICK HERE FOR THE LIST.  We ask that supplies be dropped off at the church by Wednesday, Dec. 9th.  If you are coming by during the week please contact the church office before coming by to make sure someone will be around to accept the supplies.  If you prefer, you can make a monetary donation to the project.  Those monies will purchase left over items or go to provide grocery gift cards to the families.
