Sunday morning Class and Worship is held in person and live-streamed. You are welcome to join us! The city of Milwaukee has announced that they are lifting most occupancy and masking restrictions starting in June (although they are still debating the issue) and we are expecting to update our own restrictions to stay in compliance with city rules while offering a mask and distancing area for those more comfortable doing that. Of course, if you are ill or have had recent contact with someone who is ill, please stay home. There is no evening worship.
