Tommy Nance is leading a class on Discipleship on Sunday mornings through March 21 at 9:00 a.m. The connection is via ZOOM link. So if you’d like to join in, contact Tommy at twjrnance@gmail.com. The focus is on discipleship and evangelism.

For the coming Wednesdays leading up of Lent, Josh and Keith will be interviewing some saints of St. Giles, in a series we’re calling “Life Together.” During Lent we give special attention to how the Lord is growing us as disciples, and in this series we’re directing our attention to how we are partnered with each other in that growth, learning from each other, and encouraging each other. As usual, these Wednesday gatherings of Lent will be at 6:30, and will be live streamed.

Women's Tuesday morning Bible study begins a new series "Take Courage - A Study of Haggai" by Jennifer Rothschild on March 9th.

Christ Pres is doing a “Humility Deep Dive” this Lent, and they have invited us to join them for some Wednesday evening Zoom presentations. They have quite a line-up of professors, missionaries, and pastors presenting each of these Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. Check it out at https://christpresrva.com/the-humility-talks. You can sign up there for each of the Zoom events.

Given the current Covid spike, the Governor has asked that groups larger than ten not to meet in person. His plan does exempt churches’ worship services, for which we are grateful. We have had good experience for many months now with our socially distanced, masked, worship patterns, and these will continue. But we are pausing all other gatherings with more than ten people. We have sent notice to all of the leaders of our various in the building gatherings, such as Tuesday morning women’s study, Wednesday evening student and children’s meetings, etc.

As you can see in the accompanying article on adult education classes, we will have Zoom and livestream options. But for now we will be pausing all in person gatherings larger than ten people. We will review the situation every month, and hopefully be back to in person gatherings soon.
