Midweek Update: All Sunday Services in the Sanctuary

Dear Fourth Church,

As Todd and Tommy shared during services on Sunday, the 11:00 a.m. service moves back to the Sanctuary this Sunday, July 18. That means all Sunday services are now masks optional, open seating, and no RSVPs required. God has been gracious and good in leading Fourth through the pandemic, and we have much to be thankful for.

Thanks, all, for the strong turnout, encouraging words, and good questions asked at Sunday's Sanctuary Renewal Town Hall Meeting. To provide an opportunity for those who cannot attend a "live" meeting, those who are traveling, etc., the next Town Hall will be held via Zoom, Sunday, August 8, at 11:00 a.m. Look for the Zoom link in the Midweek Update email on July 28. For more information, visit the Sanctuary Renewal page.

Praise the Lord for the many 6th-12th grade students who attend the Bible studies led by Summer Staff each Sunday. After Bible study, the students and leaders attend Evening Worship and then enjoy a cool treat from the dessert food truck waiting outside. After a year of being penned up, it's great to see everyone enjoying these times of extended fellowship.

Grace to you,

Don Nalle

P.S. Yesterday, in the early morning light, youth from Fourth departed on a three-day "Mini Bike Trip" to Harpers Ferry and back (with two nights camping out in Harper's Ferry).
