Dear Family,
This year has definitely been an interesting one for us so far. This virus has put us in a new place and given us a chance to grow—particularly in learning a brand new way of depending on our Lord. From here, we must chart a course of how we are to be the body of Christ in the midst of this pandemic and every day. How we do ministry and how we will be family. I have tried many different things during the lockdown to minister, and frankly, some of it has not been effective. So….gonna take another swing.
In person ministry has taken the hardest hit. As a leadership team, we have worked to bring about the “ in person time”. There are many different perspectives ranging from “we need to wait until all is clear” to “what’s all the fuss about.” We have tried to come to that proverbial middle with limited ministry and many safeguards. Our plan is to continue with the schedule below until we can resume normal as we now know it. We have plans in places to deal with any exposure or diagnosis of the virus so we may continue ministry thru technology.
Our in person ministry as of now:
Sunday:
Worship at 11:00 am with Kids of the Kingdom during worship (following all guidelines)
Small group parsonage at 4:00 pm and 2nd small group at 4:30 pm in boardroom.
Monday: Starting in July
Personal calls and cards will go out to our members on a consistent basis.
Will send a weekly ministry update to those without capability to receive email or Facebook.
Wednesday
5:30 pm Drive in Service (Consist of prayer and sermonette as you sit in your cars)
6:00 pm Wesley Bible Study in Sanctuary (currently studying the book of Job)
6:00 pm 1st and 3rd Wednesday our young adults will meet in the boardroom (will start July 15th)
We are working on some drive-thru ministry for our children in lieu of Wednesday’s warriors. Watch for details
Our online ministry as of now:
Sunday worship service is on Facebook live and posted on website weekly.
Wednesday Bible Study will be recorded and posted on Facebook and website.
There will also be a Children’s moment posted as well from Sunday morning. On Facebook and website.

Now lets get to the meat of the matter. I know that the social aspect of ministry is very important to us all. I also know that coming in person is very scary to many and some cannot risk coming because of various factors. We are family present or absent from one another and your pastor loves you all very much. I am working to insure you have access to God’s Word in one way or another. And so I must ask you to consider these thoughts:
Your involvement and commitment to be a part of these ministries in person or on line rests squarely with each of you. Are you hungry and thirsty for God? Do you yearn for God and seek Him?
Let me leave you with a couple of scriptures for consideration: John 6:35: “I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger and He who believes in Me will never thirst.” Psalm 63:1: Psalm of David in the wilderness of Judah. “O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly: My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You in a dry and weary land where there is no water.” Family, this is where we stand today. Are you ready to be full and satisfied?

I will be here and I will be your minister continuing to offer God, scripture, love, and ministry as you are willing to receive. I will encourage you all to hang on and ride this roller coaster with me. It will so be worth it.
Love you bunches, Pastor Sarah
