We will play rain or shine.  If there is a threat of rain we will move into the sanctuary and use our folding stands. For those that are new to playing at the lakeside, the venue is to the right as you’re facing the front of the church. Just follow the sidewalk and path down the hill. You can’t miss it. There are no restroom facilities at lakeside so take care of that before you walk down the hill. If anyone needs assistance, there will be a golf cart available.

The Gainesville First UMC current Covid-19 protocols – wearing a mask while indoors in all areas of the church building is strongly recommended for all church members, visitors, staff, and vendors, regardless of vaccination status.

We will have rehearsal on Monday, September 27th in the parking lot by the entrance to the MAC.  (See map)

Thank you and may God Bless!  See you Sunday!!

David
