The pandemic has pushed us to up our tech game, and that means more opportunities to serve during worship. If you are interested in serving with our audiovisual team, we would love to hear from you! No experience is necessary. We will train you to control the cameras, control the sound, or run the videos and graphics. Just contact the church office to join the team.

As part of our plan to get church functions back to normal, staff are returning to work in the church building on a limited basis. When you need to contact a member of staff, please do so by phone, email, or mail, if you can. We want to limit contact with others for everyone's safety. A later phase of our plan allows for more regular contact within the building, so please stay tuned for future announcements.

During the COVID-19 crisis, we encourage you to give by way of our website or by text or mail. We must hold together, and your continued, faithful giving ensures that we will have the resources to continue our ministries. You can give online by going to our website and clicking on "Give" in the upper right corner. You can send your pledge, offering, or special gift by texting (all one word) fpcbristol to 73256. You can also mail your checks directly to the church. Our address is 701 Florida Avenue, Bristol, TN 37620. Thank you, as always, for your generosity.

As we weather the COVID-19 pandemic, we are asking you to spend more time in prayer for our church, our community, our nation, and the world. Pray for our leaders, first responders, frontline workers, and the vulnerable. We also ask that you pray for a swift end to this disease.

Memorials and honoraria are published in the newsletter only after the family has been personally notified by our business office. Today we gratefully acknowledge gifts in memory of:

Alice Morrow Caldwell (sister of Margaret Wade): to the Minister's Discretionary Fund from Dot Mattison

Virginia Long (mother of Lilly Osborne): to the Children's Ministries Fund from John & Karen Vann

Virginia Rutherford: to the Minister's Discretionary Fund from Ann Abel, from Patty & David Browning, from Mrs. Robert Combs, from Mr. & Mrs. Eugene Gilfillin, from Virginia & Bob Gunn, from Julie King, from Dot Mattison, from John & Karen Vann

Guilmant's interest in Marcel Dupré (1886-1971) began when the latter was a child. Albert Dupré, father of the celebrated Marcel, studied organ with Guilmant for seven years prior to his son's birth. In Marcel Dupré's memoirs, he wrote

	Marcel Dupré

that Guilmant visited his mother upon his birth and declared that he would grow up to be an organist. After frequent visits throughout his childhood, he began studying with Guilmant formally at age 11. From this time until his death, Guilmant championed the young virtuoso and did much to advance his career. Our offertory music Sunday will be Dupré's "How Fair and How Pleasant Art Thou" from Fifteen Pieces for organ founded on antiphons (Vêpres du Commun).

You can watch the video of last Sunday's worship here.
