This year out of an abundance of caution and to ensure we keep with guidelines set by the CDC, state, and the local health department, the Religious Education team has decided to offer classes using a hybrid model.

Those in person events will have reduced numbers, face coverings, and social distancing. More information will be communicated to all registered families.
