Welcome to all who worship with us! Whether you are with us in the sanctuary or watching on your computer from home, we gladly say, Thank God you are here! If you’re visiting or interested in joining the church, you are invited to email Dorisanne at dorisanne@wattsstreet.org and she’ll be delighted to speak with you.
The Livestream Service begins at 11 a.m. and can be found on the Watts Street Baptist Church Facebook page. You do not need a Facebook account to watch the video. (Click “not now” when Facebook prompts you to create an account.) You can watch the service in “real time” or later. After the livestream finishes, the archived video will drop down to the right column below the main viewing screen and be available for viewing at any time.
Covid Safety Protocol: The recent uptick in Covid numbers in our area calls for us to extend our masking protocol a while longer. Please keep your masks on anytime you are inside the building. We encourage everyone who is immunocompromised or over the age of 50 to get their second booster shot. We have returned the pew cushions to the sanctuary and invite you to do your best with social distancing. We will continue to offer overflow space in the fellowship hall and also continue to livestream our Sunday services each week.

If you are not ready for your child to be inside the sanctuary, you are welcome to meet on the playground at 11 am, weather permitting. Check in with the adult greeter at the gate to sign in your child for Sunday School.
