Look what's happening at
villisca Advent Christian Church
We have several people coming to church but not interactng with people not wearing masks. We have set up a mask-only section in the fellowship hall. A section of chairs just past the bathroom hallway to the south is exclusive to mask wearers. We have signs saying a mask must be worn to go beyond this point in the fellowship hall. We have designated the southern (kitchen) door for people wearing masks to enter, thus creating a zone for safety and comfortable convenience.
We have done our best to remove any and all obstacles for everyone who would like to attend services, masked or not. Those who do not wish to wear masks can come in the front door as usual and be seated in the sanctuary, abiding by the 6 foot distancing rule.
We are now beginning to open the church for other events other than the Sunday worship service. Our Wednesday night Bible Study will become live at the end of January; our annual Penny Crusade which kicks off with a chili cook-off will be happening in early February.
We know things are not "normal" yet and maybe never will be, but we feel God guiding us to be more aggressive in our plans for 2021 and be more constant in our outreach to get the gospel message out into the world around Villisca. Join with us in doing that whenever you can.
