Greetings Church family in Jesus’ name,

Outdoor worship!

Last Sunday was a wonderful time out in the fresh air on the church parking lot in worship together! We will continue to worship outdoors, weather permitting, every Sunday until we have permission to worship indoors, and we will continue to worship online though Facebook live indefinitely! 

Remember, we will mass email, phone, and post on Facebook every Saturday at 10 AM to let you all know if weather is permitting us to gather on the parking lot each Sunday. If you didn’t get to worship with us Sunday or don’t have Facebook, here’s the YouTube link: https://youtu.be/bwnhCmnfAXY Always remember to ‘like’ and ‘share’ our services so we can keep reaching out for Jesus!!

Outdoor Worship instructions:

Additional Logistics:
  • Here’s what to bring: your lawn chair, face mask, a water bottle, and if desired an umbrella to help with the sun. 
  • We ask those coming to sit in lawn chairs to first enter from and fill the South Parking lot from Pine and then we will fill the area across 16th street.
  • The two North entrances will be reserved for senior citizens and those with underlying health conditions so that they can have prime seating from the safety of their vehicles (tune to FM 87.9)
  • Please email any prayer requests or praises for service into the Prayer Chain no later than 10 AM on Saturday.

Safety:
  •  Masks must be worn by all! (we will have spares if you forget)
  • No touching common objects (only electronic bulletins, no passing plates, or prayer cards).
  • Only those living under one roof (or in regular daily contact) may sit together.
  • All such groups/individuals will be 10 foot distant from each other (so that we may sing through our masks)
  • All of our senior citizens and all with underlying health conditions are strongly encouraged to worship from home (or remain in their car. See above)
  • Parents: Please be sure to keep your children with you at all times.
  • Church restrooms will only be available on an emergency basis (do not plan to use them) Worship will be shortened to help.
  •  On stage, participation will be limited to help prevent transmission.

God be with you till we meet again, in Jesus’ Name, amen!

Many blessings in Jesus’ name,
Pastor Danny
