All children 3 and over, and all adults, will wear masks at all times.  Please contact Kathy Chateau more information or if you have any questions (kathy@japc.org).

Children’s Programs Paused — Church school and childcare on Sunday mornings will be paused and will not meet through Sunday, January 30.  The decision was made by the Parish Life Committee in consultation with staff due to the increased Covid-19 infections and potential for community spread among children. These ministries are intended to return to their normal schedule on Sunday, February 6.
