Dear families,
Happy Epiphany or Three Kings Day! Like the Magi, we continue on the winding road of discipleship, always moving forward and following the star, but beset with a few delays and bumps in the the road.
As you know, our region is experiencing a record spike in Covid cases due to the Omicron variant. The good news is that this latest variant is much milder and resulting in relatively fewer hospitalizations and serious complications. The bad news is that it is highly transmissible.
The Forward in Faith Together Committee and Session met Tuesday night and decided that we are going to take a J-term Break on in-person, in-building activities. Sunday worship will continue, of course, but it will be livestream only. There will be no children’s church school, adult education, youth choirs or youth fellowship gatherings for the next couple of weeks. We are very much hoping and anticipating that we will return to a regular schedule in late January or early February. Since this is intended to be a brief-ish break, we will not transition to online Sunday morning church school. Many schools are also going remote for the next couple of weeks, and Zoom fatigue has re-emerged. If the break stretches into February, we will revisit the option of offering virtual church school.
with Epiphany faithfulness,

Dear families,
Amani Utupe was the very first virtual choir video we made in 2020! Lyrics are below. Yes we are traveling and carrying on our load, the road is rocky with different forks, but together we pray for strength, courage and peace. Amen.
As we travel down this weary road, Amani utupe na ustawi.
We need strength to carry on our load, Amani utupe na ustawi.
Grant us peace, give us courage, Amani utupe na ustawi.
Road is rocky and the way is dark, Amani utupe na ustawi.
Every road has a different fork, Amani utupe na ustawi.
Grant us peace, give us courage, Amani utupe na ustawi.
Hallelujah, hallelujah! Amani utupe na ustawi.
Grant us peace, give us courage, Amani utupe na ustawi.
