Greetings! Time for a weekly update!
We are continuing in both online and in person worship at this time. I am thankful for all of the work that everyone has done to make this possible. As we return to in person worship, please contact me for details or see prior weekly updates for all of the current safety precautions.
Also know that if things continue to get worse, we may see restrictions tighten, which could change how we are doing worship. We have already seen other surrounding areas begin to be under scrutiny, and cases have not been in a good trend here. If there is anything you’d like to see change in the video, print, or in person worship, please let me know. I’m always open to suggestions or new ideas.
We will begin working on Charge Conference soon. I will be trying to get those forms printed and available soon and will be making calls soon to schedule meetings. Charge conference will likely be online this year, as I believe that everyone that is interested should have access remotely as long as a dial in option is available.
I am also asking that if you have been checking in on people, please let me know. I appreciate any updates and welcome any help in identifying anyone that needs to hear from me. Getting everything done from week to week can begin to wipe away many hours of the day, and I do not always get around to all the calls I would like to make. If you can help me with keeping informed on how everyone is doing and who may need attention, I appreciate that help. Any additions to the prayer list can be sent to me using any of the contact info below.
There are copies of the Upper Room available in Greenup in the box and at Cottonwood. You can also find the current issue online. The new Sunday school quarterly is also in the box for whoever is interested.
I will be continuing to have our worship services online and in print! A printed copy of the service including the weekly sermon will be available online and in print. The sermon audio will be uploaded weekly as well. If you’d like to be updated when it is available, it is on Spotify, Google Play, and iTunes. I will also post updates to the church Facebook pages every week. If anyone you know is not getting a copy and would like one mailed, please let me know. I am trying to get them mailed out weekly.
Also, in this time we are still working to keep the bills paid, our missions supported, our apportionments met, and our outreach working. As such, we do need your continued financial support as part of the church. Offerings may be sent to your local treasurer or to the PO Box listed below. I can also arrange to pick them up if I am delivering anything to you. I am personally grateful for all your continued support in this difficult time. I cannot stress enough that the church is still active and we are still together.
Please see the CDC website for information on the Coronavirus.
Please stay safe. You are all in my prayers. I will keep you updated as best I can. If you have any questions, feel free to contact your Church Council Chair or myself.
