Re-Opening, Slowly but Surely
We will be holding outdoor worship services beginning Sunday, July 12th on the Great Lawn (weather permitting).

In case of bad weather, service will be live streamed only. The Session has put together a set of policies for in-person worship: https://nhpchurch.org/COVID-19restart2020.pdf.
