Fellowship Gathering Following Each Service

DARNESTOWN PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IS FULLY OPEN!

O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL!  There are now no attendance limits in our newly expanded sanctuary, and our Covid safety policies continue to comply with requirements promulgated by the Montgomery County Health Department.  As of 11/20/21,  all attendees are again required to wear masks while indoors, as the Health Department again considers Montgomery County to be in an increased risk category due to the Covid Delta variant. 

The following common-sense guidelines continue to apply, except as modified by the above requirement:

1. If you feel sick, please worship with us from home.
2. If not otherwise required, in meetings indoors with unvaccinated people (children, for example) please wear a mask.
3. Continue to monitor the Covid-19 data in Montgomery County and assess your own risk.
4. If permitted under currently applicable CDC guidance and Montgomery County requirements, meetings in the church of fully vaccinated people can be held without masks indoors or outdoors.
5. Gatherings that include unvaccinated people can be held outdoors without masks.
6. If the rate of infection in Montgomery County returns to a level above 3/100k, we will all need to mask again during worship for the protection of children and the immune-compromised.
7. Singing? Yes, make a joyful noise!

THIS POLICY IS UNDER REVIEW AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE.  Mask guidelines will vary based on County infection numbers.

All of our worship services are available on our YouTube channel.

The worship service is streamed live on YouTube and Facebook at 10:30 a.m. Eastern time each Sunday.  Prior services are also available on our YouTube channel.  Our current Sunday schedule for Fall is as follows:
