Psalm 139

Production Team Volunteers Needed
While many things are paused during COVID-19, there is a new opportunity to serve: the livestream production team ! The core group who has been making livestream happen weekly is ready to onboard volunteers to build a production team that can shoulder the task together. It is a tech-heavy position, so if that’s your thing then this is for you! However no previous experience or training is required as they will teach you everything you need to know.

Update from the Session:

  • The session is grateful for the many communications received following the last Congregational Meeting, and will continue to reach out to individuals in response.
  • The elders are developing a new plan for the shepherding of the congregation. This will take time and we humbly request your patience and prayer as we adjust elder assignments, etc. Pastor Dave Kulp is leading this initiative.
  • The session decided to establish a working group of several elders, deacons, and staff to improve staff care and Personnel policies. This group will consult professionals in the field to ascertain best practices.
  • The session also agreed to institute more frequent sabbatical years for elders, to begin after the new class of elders is ordained. Join us in praying for this process and the current class of officer nominees as they complete testing and prepare for their session interview at the August meeting.

Worship Guidelines in Phase 2
  • We encourage each of you to determine whether or not it is wise for you to attend to worship each week in person, taking into consideration CDC guidelines regarding high-risk populations.
  • While we think children 2nd grade and above will be more comfortable sitting through the entire service, we are not excluding children of any age from attending.
  • We recommend following current CDC guidelines regarding the use of cloth face coverings, both for adults and young children, also noting that CDC guidelines prohibit the use of face coverings for children 2 and under.
  • You can find full details about our Reopening Plan, including a list of FAQs and procedures in place to maintain social distancing in the links below. 
  • We trust you to decide what is best for your family
  • Doors will open for seating at 9:45am.
  • Masks will be provided.
  • Please note there is no nursery or childcare available.

Remember that the service will continue to be live-streamed each week for those unable to join us during this phase.
