Congregational Singing Resumes!

6/20/2021

 
The worship committee met on Thursday evening and is pleased to announce that congregational singing has returned to in person worship! We are still following CDC recommendations and ask that in you are not vaccinated that you wear a mask during the service and especially if you sing along to hymns and responses.

​We will continue to print hymn lyrics in the bulletin for those watching online and following from home, but those sitting in the pews are encouraged to begin using hymnals again. We’re another step closer in our return to normal!

“Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts” (Colossians 3:16).

In-Person Worship Guidelines Revised

6/9/2021

 
After prayerful discussion at the June 8, 2021 meeting, the Session has updated in-person worship guidelines as follows:
  • those who are not vaccinated must wear a mask properly; vaccinated individuals may choose not to wear a mask
  • refrain from singing (decisions about singing will be determined by the worship committee soon)
  • please continue to observe social distancing in the marked pews
  • temperature checks and signing in upon arrival will no longer be required
We understand that each person is different with the possible risks he or she may have.  Live-streamed online worship will continue to be available on Facebook and YouTube for those who choose to stay home until they feel safe to rejoin in person.

Worship Moves to 10:00AM Starting June 6

6/1/2021

 
To kick off our Summer Sundays at 10:00AM, we are planning an outdoor worship service on Sunday, June 6, with a rain date of June 20.  It’s hard to believe, but the last outdoor emerging worship service we held on the side lawn was in 2015!
 
Due to limited resources (and to make the workload easier on those involved), we are going to meet on the street behind the Gathering Place.  It is much easier to move chairs just outside the door to the street than what it takes to get to the lawn, plus we have a sound system already set up in the Gathering Place that won’t need to be taken anywhere! 
 
Please plan to show up by 9:00AM if you are available to help set up chairs.  We’ll need a few folks to help bring them back inside after the service as well.  And for those attending at 10AM, bring your sunglasses and summer hats!  We’re planning to sing some of our favorite songs with keyboard and guitar.  We’ll provide cold bottles of water for those who would like them.  Please join us!
