Worship:


A new element you will see in worship is during the children's sermons. I will be adding some children's songs and welcome members to join us in singing. We will attempt to be more intentional about inviting children to participate so whether they are willing to come forward or not, I will offer the children's sermon at both services.

It has come to our attention that some feel that setting 8 is too contemporary and may not be appropriate for the Lenten season. We are discerning a setting change or changing the Kyrie.


We'd like your feedback, therefore below is a poll. I'll share the results next week. Keep in mind that based on the feedback, we may make a change the traditional setting for worship.

Would you like to change the Kyrie during Lent?
Yes
No
Do you like Setting 8 for the traditional worship?
Yes
No

Pastoral Care


I just wanted to remind you know that we have modified the prayer request button on the website. Now when someone clicks on the button, a Google form will open for additional information to be filled out. One of the new items will include an option to request a pastor call. There will also be an option to send me an email directly. This is in an effort to ensure I have all the necessary information to contact members, family members of members or guest which would like to contact me directly. My intent is to ensure I contact all those who wish to see or hear from me.

Congregational Care


Coming soon, we will begin a grief support group available to all who may need it. I'll most likely be working with Kelly Burleson to offer this group. It will be during the day. Please take a few moments to answer the poll below. More information to be shared soon.

Would you attend a grief support group if offered?
Yes
No

Outreach


Our church council is discerning the best ways to establish long term relationships with those in our community and how we may be used to assist those in need.


Within the next few months, more will be shared.

Fellowship


In an effort to support more diversity in our congregation, we would like to offer "Spanish Space". Coming soon will be a table in the fellowship hall that will promote Spanish speaking conversations. If you join us at the table. you must be willing to try or listen to only Spanish (OK, to start, we may begin with some English!). This table will be offered during Fellowship time to promote more Spanish dialog for all Hispanic friends within and outside our church. Coming soon!



Together it is my hope that we live out our mission call, be inspired by the Holy Spirit to be the true disciples of Christ in our community as we live out our faith!


Always a servant of Christ, <><
