Our Church Council has approved the first step in re-opening TLC by welcoming small groups of 15 or less. Due to the Governor's recent directive to close church offices to the public, small groups, for the time being, will only be invited to gather in the front lawn. Our Re-Opening Team has thoughtfully put together guidelines for small group gatherings for your safety.
