COVID-19 Update | Feb. 15
As COVID-19 trends continue to move in a favorable direction, we invite you to participate in worship and fellowship at IPC!
On Sundays, we are re-introducing passing of the peace and our offering plates in the order of worship.
On the first Sunday of March, we plan to pass communion trays with juice and bread along the pews in the Sanctuary during the morning worship services. Communion returns at each Table evening service, and all will be invited to come forward to receive the communion elements. For those who prefer the pre-packaged option, you can still find baskets with the self-contained packets as you enter the Narthex and Parlor as well as in the foyer of Highland Hall before communion services.
IPC strongly encourages the congregation to continue to wear masks at all indoor gatherings and also remain current on vaccinations in order to protect one another. For those who feel safer worshipping from home, we welcome you to join us for the livestream of the 11 am worship service on IPC's YouTube channel and Facebook page. Additionally, a replay of the service will be immediately available, allowing you to view services on demand after the live broadcast.
We hope that you will join us in person soon. The coming of the Lenten season is an exciting time of year, and let us come together to worship.
