One more week of reduced church, and then on June 7 we are open for business. Communion is available on an individual basis this Sunday from 9 to 11 AM. Things will be very different when we have church on June 7th. We can only accommodate around 25 persons and maintain social distancing so we will provide two services, one at 9 AM and one at 10:30. As of this morning we have 16 planning to come for the 10:30 service and 9 coming at 9 AM.
I know this is a nuisance but if you haven’t yet responded regarding your plans for June 7, would you please respond asap? If you are not yet ready to come to church, that is fine. We don’t want to criticize those who do not yet feel safe. If you are not planning to come just indicate “not coming yet” in an email to me. If you plan to come at 9 AM or 10:30, please indicate your time preference. Remember, masks required at 9. Mask recommended but optional at 10:30. The sanctuary is marked off, so you will know where you may sit. Your favorite spot may not be available. We are trying to keep everyone safe, and I know you will be understanding.
The Official Board will meet June 2nd to finalize plans. Watch your email for any last-minute changes.
Finally, on this Memorial Day, we want to honor and remember those who gave their lives for this country to preserve our freedoms. I am reminded of the words of Jesus: “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13).
Blessings in Christ to all, Pastor Bowman
