A Message from the Pastor: Return to In Building Worship Services

Once we go back into the church on the third Sunday, all services will be from the sanctuary. This Sunday will therefore be the last service that is not from the church. Rev Jasper is normally scheduled to preach on the 4th Sunday, but since we will have an in-church service he will not be able to bring that message. I have therefore asked him to preach this Sunday

SUNDAY SERVICES IN THE SANCTUARY:

o Because it has not yet been determined if the three vaccines are effective against the new COVID variances (particularly “Delta"), it has been recommended that even those who have been vaccinated be required to wear masks until CDC indicates that those strains are covered. Those who have not been vaccinated are always required to wear masks. Everyone will be required to wear masks until further notice.

o There will be a sign-in sheet at the entrances. Everyone will enter their name and contact information (phone or email). This is so that if someone attending subsequently tests positive, we will be able to provide CDC with contact tracing information.

o Everyone must enter the sanctuary using the center doors and will be directed by the ushers for proper seating.

o On communion Sunday, ushers will hand out individual zip lock bags containing a communion cup. Those cups can be placed in the ziplocks and discarded in a container at the rear of the sanctuary at the end of service.

o Social distancing: Every other pew will be left empty to provide six feet of separation. Persons sitting on each pew are asked to sit six feet apart. Families or close groups may sit closer.

o At the end of the service the ushers will facilitate an orderly row-by-row exit.

o At the end of each service, there will be two baskets at the rear of the sanctuary for tithes and offerings

JOIN US FOR BIBLE STUDY AND PRAYER MEETING VIA CONFERENECE CALL 

The new crisis-driven rules and guidelines have driven us to temporarily change the way we do things, but we
are still a vibrant spirit-filled church. We are not, and we will never become a dysfunctional congregation!

BIBLE STUDY AND PRAYER MEETING
After a brief disruption, our Thursday night Bible Study classes will resume. We cannot hold the large classes
in the church; and so, we will convert to Home-Study using a teleconferencing phone system.
I'm asking all members to join the class by dialing in on the telephone conference line on Thursday evening.
The present study series is based on “The Purple Book” which focuses on building strong disciples.
Although the present class is halfway through the book, each chapter/topic stands-alone; and so, new folks
can join the class at any point.
I would ask that all ministers, deacons, and deaconess plan to attend the study on Thursday.
DAY: Each Thursday Evening      TIME:7:30 PM - 9:00 PM

If you are conferencing via computer, tablet, or smartphone:

BOOK: “The Purple Book” (Not required, available on Amazon or Christianbook.com)
I have attached a copy of the pages for the ongoing session
so that new attendees can prepare for Thursday's study.

This Week!  Chapter Seven,  Spiritual Family & Church Life, Lesson , 

Scriptures: 

PRAYER SERVICE:
On Friday evening we will have our weekly prayer service using the teleconferencing phone line.
DATE:  Every Friday Evening               TIME:  6:00PM - 7:00PM

Mark 6:37-42 New International Version (NIV)

37 But he answered, “You give them something to eat.” They said to him, “That would take more than half a year’s wages[a]! Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?”38 “How many loaves do you have?” he asked. “Go and see. When they found out, they said, “Five—and two fish.”39 Then Jesus directed them to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass. 40 So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties. 41 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people. He also divided the two fish among them all. 42 They all ate and were satisfied,
