Updates: Mid December

Dear Members, Friends, & Family,

Church services and all other events will be Full Remote until further notice.  Despite our rural setting, the local cases have reached a place that we must make these changes.  We apologize, but we feel that this is the right thing to do under the circumstance and hope that it will set an example of sacrifice and love in the midst of challenge. We made it through Easter, we will make it through Christmas.

Full remote will look different than it did in the spring. Sunday services will be live on Zoom with a recording on the website following the service. There will also be a 7pm Christmas Eve Service via Zoom. Please join us to celebrate hope, love, and new birth. You will see gifts from the kids posting as well….but I get ahead of myself.

Shortly, we’ll be sending out an e-mail with a more formal update on the plan for the rest of the year and the Celebrations for Christmas.  If you don’t get an email, or know of someone who didn’t, please contact me so I can update our Contact List. If you do not have a Zoom Link for Sunday’s service, please contact me.

There is an active network at the Church/Meetinghouse in place.  Should you need support or help, or know of someone who does, please contact us.  We are here to help one another.  We have also connected our Neighbor’s Network to a bigger area (informal) network, should we need to reach out farther than our local area for support.

I will miss you all and gathering together for worship and friendship, but remember that we are all still here and will be able to gather together soon.  And we can be grateful for Zoom to help us stay connected.

In the meantime, remember to look for the people doing good, they remind us to be calm and helpful.  Have gratitude.  Share compassion, love, and prayers for those who need it.  This is our practice as a church family: to be beacons of peace, hope, and calm in the midst of the chaos.

Love & Blessings, Charlotte
