It was wonderful last year to worship together with our ecumenical partners, and I know this year will be very meaningful as well.
Wednesday Soup Suppers
Wednesday Evening Lenten Soup Suppers begin February 25. For five Wednesdays, we will gather in the Fellowship Hall for a soup supper followed by a Bible Study and brief service of communion.
Our 9 am service is a traditional worship service featuring music from the hymnal and the prayers we all know and love. Our 11 am service is a contemporary worship service featuring contemporary Christian music along with alternative liturgical prayers.
When a month has five Sundays, we combine features of our traditional and contemporary services and worship together at 10 am. On occasion, we will have a combined worship service on an additional Sunday:
-
the Sunday after Christmas (attendance can be low due to travel)
-
and the last Sunday in January (our Annual Meeting)
are often set that way no matter what.
The Faith Formation Ministry Team received a donation of wonderful handsewn bags for use as worship bag of children during services. We have filled the bags with coloring books, crayons, small plastic animals, small board books, and other things to keep little hands busy during worship.
Children are invited to pick one up before service from the worship bag tree and return it afterwards. The children’s table is always ready with new coloring pages and craft activities. A big thanks to Jean Kiser for keeping the table and bags ready for children who are in worship!
Current COVID-19 Practices
Covid-19, RSV and Flu are still around
The current CDC guidelines recommend that folks wear a mask at indoor gatherings if you are at high risk of illness or are protecting a loved one who is. Stay home if you are feeling unwell and consider taking a covid at-home test.
