Hurray! The church is open again so we can again worship and have fellowship together after a year and a half of isolation. We all get to meet our new Pastor, Rob Christ, who is starting his ministerial calling with us. Let’s give thanks to the Lord for our church and pastor and vow to support them to the best of our ability.
The small inconvenience of wearing a mask to all gatherings is of no problem since it gives an extra measure of safety from catching COVID-19 but also from catching colds or flu since many of us have been shut away and have had no opportunity to build up immunity to these diseases. We have several things to discuss:
1) If we decide to serve coffee after church we will need to decide who will prepare the coffee and how to serve it and who will clean up the area.
2) If we want snacks how can we insure their safety during preparation and serving?
3) How do we want to conduct future meetings starting up again in September with a Get-Acquainted -Again Picnic on the 2nd Wednesday at the church? The present plan is to meet for lunch at the Pancake Haus in October then at the church again in November and December.
4) Do we want to draw for prayer partners again?
Looking forward to seeing each of you and of hearing your news and views.
Margaret S, Moderator
