It's time to get ready for Easter! But this year things are different; things don't look or feel the same. Our schedules and lives - the world's - have been changed... forever. The whole idea behind "social distancing" is putting others first, and that shouldn't be a foreign concept to those who follow the love of God, a love that put us first, giving for us the greatest sacrifice. Like we find in Philippians 2:1-4 and 1 Corinthians 10:24, we are instructed to consider needs beyond ourselves and our immediate families.

Our ministry staff joined together again on Sunday morning to worship with you via live video on Facebook. We know that many of you participated in the service! If you would like to connect in this way, you will be directed to our Facebook page by clicking here, where you can watch Sunday's video. 

A Lenten daily devotional was compiled by the Laity of The West Virginia Conference of The United Methodist Church. To download a PDF version of this devotional, or to read each day online, click here. Please meditate on each daily reading, and pray for God's Spirit to direct your life in a special way during this season of Lent.

While it's highly unlikely that we will be able to reopen the church during the month of April, we welcome your regular prayers and continued giving. This is the perfect time to learn about our online giving option. Click here to access the online giving instructions from the Forrest Burdette website . Your continued giving to the church during this time, as you are able, is important for us to keep paying our expenses. If not online, then please mail your regular offering to 2848 Putnam Avenue, Hurricane WV 25526. To save a stamp, you may deposit your offering in our locked mailbox on Putnam Avenue. Open the top door, and slide your envelope all the way to the back of the box, where it will fall into the locked area. Thank you, as always, for your support of this ministry. 

Due to the current situation regarding covid-19, the decision has been made to cancel this year's chocolate Easter egg project and the Spring Festival that was to be held on April 4. This decision has been made in the best interest of everyone involved. The UMW is contacting those who paid for eggs and festival spaces. Please spread the word. Thank you for your understanding during this unique time!
