From Bishop Benfield: The ways that individual congregations are responding to the pandemic is varying week by week. Several congregations were “virtual only” this past Sunday and are wondering what next steps to take. My advice is relatively simple: If your congregation decides to have in-person worship this month, it needs to worship safely. That means masking during worship, rethinking how much you sing, and no events such as coffee hour that require people to be unmasked. It means that social distancing is encouraged. It also means that if you feel unsafe due to age or health considerations, or if you are not vaccinated, you stay home and instead participate on-line. The same advice goes for small-group meetings. 

NOTE: Included in this letter was the announcement that Diocesan Convention will now be held virtually. 

Annual Meeting Reports: Copies of the St. Paul’s 2021 Parish Report are now in the back of the church (and in the office) for you to pick up before the Annual Meeting. At the meeting, there will be time for questions. 

Annual Meeting: St. Paul’s annual meeting will take place on January 30^th. With the current number of infections in our community, the vestry will re-evaluate our plans for how this meeting with take place. 

Giving to St. Paul’s: For those attending online, there are three ways to give: you may mail your gifts to St. Paul’s at PO Box 2255, Batesville, AR. 72503, or make an online contribution by going to our website (stpaulsbatesville.org) and by following the link to make a contribution. You may also set up automatic payments through your bank’s Bill Pay service.
