Stop by their house on a beautiful day

Hello Friends,

As we continue to stay safe in our homes I will share the latest updates on church life each week in this email:

  • Our church building continues to be closed until future notice. This decision will be re-evaluated once we are clearly in the “green zone” and we have implemented a plan to keep everyone safe and healthy. 
  • Our Sunday services are available on Facebook and our website each Sunday at 10:15 am. Remember these services can be watched at the time of the service and again afterwards for those who missed it.

Click on the service to print out a bulletin to follow along:
  • 5/17/20 Worship @ 10:15 am
  • Special music will be performed by Darin Jellison, and Brian Jones. Brian is the music and choir director at the Metropolitan Community Church of the Lehigh Valley.
  • Special thanks to all the musicians taking part in our services, to Karen Talboo for reading scriptures, to the Hite family for sharing a greeting, to Autumn Kandt for editing the service, and to Darin for uploading them for all of you to watch.

Hope you enjoyed last Sunday's NEWS FROM THE … PEWS?
Special thanks to Scott and Louise Christman for sharing a greeting! We will continue to connect with each other by sharing greetings and stories about how you are coping in these different times. If you are interested in taking part, please call or email me for details.

Confirmation/Pentecost Sunday is May 31st. We will be celebrating confirmation and communion during worship. You can pick up “Communion Kits” like we used at Easter or you can prepare your own elements at home. Pick up times will be Tuesday, May 26 through Thursday, May 28 from 12:00 - 2:00. Drive to the side of the church building by my office door, stay in your car, honk your horn, and I will come out gloved and masked to deliver your kits.

Is there someone in your life in need of prayer?  Click  here  to fill out a prayer request form and Pastor Bruce will mention that person’s first name during worship. Please be sensitive to privacy. Permission to share from those involved must be granted before making a request.

Please be safe, stay inside as much as necessary, and remain healthy.

Blessings,
Pastor Bruce
From Bonnie Bates, PNEC Conference Minister

“Jesus said, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments’ (Matthew 22:37-40)” How then do we love God with all our hearts, souls, and minds? How then do we love our neighbor as ourselves? This week someone said to me that they couldn’t believe the church was “closed.” Quotations marks or not it felt like I needed to respond. I do not believe the church is closed. read more...

A Message to our 2020 High School and College Graduates

“If you've come through this school year as a graduate, you can survive anything. You can make the most of anything that comes your way. There is nothing that you can't overcome because you've been tested as much as any young person can be tested. All the rites of passage that you may not have had the advantage of this time will mean so much more to you when they happen for you sometime down the road, whether it's in college, whether it's a wedding, whether it's any major event. They're going to mean that much more because you know what it's like to go without.”

CPR News, April 16, 2020—Keith Mainland, Graduation Coordinator and father of a high school senior at Monarch High School, Louisville, KY
We at Faith would like to honor our High School and College Graduates in the June issue of Focus on Faith.
