COVID Protocols at NMUC:
Please note, if joining us in-person:

Effective immediately, the decision to mask in church will be up to the individual.  We know that you will make the decision that is best for you and your family.  
Masks will still be available to you here at church if wanted, as is hand sanitizer, and we are maintaining distancing (keeping every other pew taped off) to increase your safety.  We will continue to monitor the situation as always.  We so look forward to seeing you all this fall!
