Changes for Lord’s Day, May 3:

▫There WILL be study class at 10a (no breakfast provided).
▫At morning worship, there are three, increasingly spaced, seating options. The balcony of the Chapel tends to be more spaced out seating than people end up having in the pews below. And, there is plenty of room for spacing in the Fellowship Hall, where there is high quality video and audio simulcast from next door.

▫After morning worship, there will be picnic lunch, with each family bringing its own food and tables spaced out. Weather permitting, eating outside on the grounds is preferable.

▫Children’s Catechism for May 3
Q27. Did Adam keep the covenant of works? A. No; he sinned against God.

▫Shorter Catechism for May 3
Q35. What is sanctification? A. Sanctification is the work of God's free grace, whereby we are renewed in the whole man after the image of God, and are enabled more and more to die unto sin, and live unto righteousness.
