WE'RE HERE FOR YOU
The entire Piney Grove church staff would like to share a loving reminder that we are here for you and your family. Many folks have gotten so comfortable staying at home and not making connection with others that they have forgotten there is a whole team of folks who love and support them. Whether you find yourself in a crisis, are in need of prayer or encouragement, would like counseling, or you just want to hear a friendly voice, please don't hesitate to call on us.

Also proof of payment.
Plan to be picked up between 3 and 3:30 from the drop-off location. Any questions give me a call. Let me know that you have paid and booked the trip so we now to be waiting for you to join Nick, Grace and I in Lillington.

PINEY GROVE RE-OPENING PLAN-
New Update
Planning is underway to move into
Step 2 of our church re-opening plan. The exact date has not yet been decided but we are aiming for the end of August/early September. Many things must happen in order to move forward.
The biggest need in order to move forward is having volunteers.
Here are some of the things we're working toward:
- Allowing Adult Classes & Small Groups to meet in larger rooms with social distancing. This would be by reservation and a weekly meeting schedule will be created. Days and times will be available throughout the week, not just on Sundays.
- Wednesday Prayer meetings and Senior Adults may resume meeting with social distancing and safety protocols.
- 180 Youth Ministry will resume a normal schedule but with precautions and social distancing.
- Restrooms will be open with extra cleaning during services and high-traffic times.
- Piney Grove Kids Worship (ages 4 years old- 6th Grade) will resume in-person during the 11 am hour on Sunday mornings. Additional volunteers are the biggest need for this to happen. The entire Fellowship hall will be utilized to maintain social distancing. Attendance will be limited and registration will be required.
- Piney Grove Kids Nursery (ages birth to 3 years-old) will re-open if enough volunteers are available. All rooms in the preschool department will be utilized to maintain small minimal group size. Attendance will be limited and registration will be required.
We will continue to give you updates as they're available. Keep an eye out for ways you can serve.
Please be aware that moving to Step 2 is dependent upon having enough volunteers.

WEEKLY BULLETIN & NEWSLETTER COMBO
For the next few months the information that would normally be put in the monthly newsletter will be included in the weekly bulletin emails. This will not only give you the latest and greatest information every week but will also allow us to streamline our communications in the church office. Once we have moved into Step 3 of the PGBC re-opening plan then we will reassess our communication strategies and possibly resume the separate monthly newsletters at that time.
For those who are homebound or receive a printed copy of the newsletter in the mail, we will continue to mail you information at the beginning of each month to include the bulletin, church calendar, and monthly birthday list. If you have any questions please contact the church office.
