**BE SURE TO JOIN US THIS SUNDAY, MAY 24th AT 10:00am FOR OUR ONLINE SERVICE**
The time is almost here!!! Next Sunday, May 31st at 9:30am and 11:30am we will have our first “in-person” services in over 2 months! We’re so excited (and we just can’t hide it)! Of course, it will not look exactly the way we would probably want it to. We won’t have Kidsmin for a while and there will be some restrictions to comply with, and procedures to follow. But to me, it will be worth whatever mask-wearing, temperature-taking, distance-keeping, long-distance-hugging, virtual-high-fiving, head—standing or hoop jumping we have to do so we can be together in one place again! Over time, we’ll start to safely peel back some of the safeguards, and eventually get back to the freedom we are used to INCLUDING donuts, kids ministry, hugging, handshaking, and coming within 5’11” of each other.
I’ll be releasing a video soon with some of the plans and processes we have in place to get us back together as quickly and safely as possible. Meanwhile, if you are not elderly or at-risk – we’d love you to join us IN-PERSON on May 31. We do have limited space with the social distancing guidelines, and want to make sure we don’t end up turning anyone away, so just to be safe – we are asking you to register in advance to let us know you are coming. Just (click here) to save your seat. There will also be a registration link in our chat space during this Sunday service.
Some of this stuff is out of our control, and we won’t always agree on exactly what we should do. But we refuse to be divided by this situation. We refuse to be defeated. We refuse to let Satan or Covid-19 or some minor inconveniences steal our joy, or our unity or our peace or our determination to worship Jesus. We WILL worship together! Some of us will be at home for a while, some of us will be in-person but the gates of hell will not prevail against a church determined to follow Jesus and worship him in spirit and in truth (and in person, and online).
YES! We will continue to have our online-services, for those who are not able to attend the “in-person” services. This Sunday the online service will begin at 10:00 like we have been doing; but next Sunday (May 31), you can choose which online service you want to attend because we will have two that will coincide with the actual “in-person” services – 9:30am & 11:30am
