Beloved at the Fountain of Life,
We wanted to give a brief update on our plans moving forward.
First, we miss you! Yet with that, I want to say, wherever you are doing church
be all in!
Stand, sing, pray and greet each other in the virtual foyer. Open your Bible and fully enter in. Our next two online Sunday services are May 17 and May 24.
We are aiming for Pentecost Sunday, May 31 for our “reassembling” day
.
We are not calling it a reopening because we never closed. Amen! But we are reassembling.
We have some things to get in place technology-wise to be able to continue with a live stream service for those that are not able to be back at church at that time. We have received so much great feedback and made new connections from our online presence. We need to be able to keep that going. There was a generous donation for a needed piece of equipment, and we still need some other components, including new cameras to really make it work. If you’d like to partner with our online ministry, you can mark donations toward “Technology Drive”.
And speaking of giving,
THANK YOU for your amazing faithfulness during this season!
We have continued to see God’s provision in all areas of ministry.
As we get closer to that Sunday, we’ll send out more details regarding the safety components we will have in place. Our services will be completely “touch free” services. You will not have to open doors, touch offering buckets or handle communion trays. We will have the chairs distanced so individuals/couples can sit together as well as families - children will be joining us in the sanctuary.
There will no be staffed Nursery or Kid’s Ministry onsite. Kids Min will continue online until further notice.
Also, we will begin
Saturday Prayer in the Sanctuary this Saturday, May 16 at 5:00 pm
- with physical distancing practiced. Bring your own mask if you need it.
We will also stream the Saturday Prayer via Facebook Live.
Next, Pastor Joe is planning for onsite
Youth services starting Wednesday, May 20
. We will also resume our
Adult Bible Study
that night in the Sanctuary
, with continued streaming on Facebook Live. These will also be “touch free” services - you will not need to touch anything other than the chair you sit in.
As said above, this is our “aim” - which could change as we get closer, but we will keep you informed either way. I will also send the results of our survey and how that has helped us in moving forward.
Looking forward to that day and that Day!
Pastor Mark and Teresa, Pastors, Board and Staff
