BE SAFE OUT THERE! Michigan’s COVID numbers are the second worst in the United States and rising fast. Wayne County cases have quadrupled in four weeks from 9.8/100,000 to 40.5/100,000. If you are uncomfortable coming to in-person services, we understand. Please follow your best judgement and feel no compunction about remaining home at this time.
