Dear Fourth Church,
A few notes for the Sunday ahead on another unseasonably warm Wednesday:
THIS SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 27
-
Coffee Returns | Starting this Sunday, coffee will be served in Halverson Hall between morning services. All are invited to join the team that sets up and prepares the piping hot java. To sign up for one of the available shifts, email Gina Hardiman, ghardiman@4thpres.org.
-
Balcony Seating | As Todd shared this past Sunday, out of love and respect for those who are more comfortable wearing face masks, the Sanctuary balcony will be designated as a masks-required section starting this Sunday.
-
Children's Ministry | Face masks are now optional for Sunday School, Cherub Church, and Children’s Church. Also, that sweet moment in the 11:00 a.m. service when children, kindergarten to 3rd grade, come forward for prayer is back. The children will be invited to the front before the sermon, receive prayer, exit via the side door, and be escorted to Children’s Church by their teachers.
- Face masks are now optional for all activities at Fourth. Thanks, everyone, for your gracious forbearance as we continue to roll with the changes.
Grace to you,
Don Nalle
