CHURCH OVERVIEW FROM MARCH, 2020
Narrative and Financials

Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and the need to shelter in place, in the space of one week in March, the church staff transformed all our on-campus programming, including Worship, to an on-line format. The Governing Board committed to calling all members and friends to check-in on everyone connected to the congregation. In the weeks since, the staff continues to operate the church while sheltering in place at home. Most church programs, team meetings, etc. continue thanks to the modern miracle known as Zoom. We are using Facebook Live to provide touchpoints of spirituality from Rev. Tim, Dani, Desmond, and a new Facebook Spirituality Team (Karen and Troy Polnitz and Erin and Lourin Hubbard). A Caring for Health Care Workers Team was activated to reach out to any congregants working in health care (Gib Brough, Connie Young, and Don Gaede). A new Caring Hearts Team was recruited and is being trained to provide emotional and spiritual support as needs arise to supplement the work of the Pastoral Care Team. A church-wide Caring Circles program is being implemented by a steering team recruited for that purpose. Rev. Tim offers a spirituality drop-in twice a week via Zoom, and Dani is leading children’s programming as well as an adult class via Zoom.
