On April 1, 2020, Governor Wolf extended the Stay at Home Order to include the entire state until at least April 30th.  This means that our current online worship, blended with the mailing of weekly bulletins will continue until at least the end of April.  Though we don’t know the exact timing of our return to in person worship, we will continue to monitor the situation and ask that you do the same.  Please remain at home as much as possible so we can continue to slow the spread of this virus.
 
Carin & Pastor Beth will continue to offer online worship streamed from the Sanctuary until such a time as that is no longer feasible.  We are grateful to offer the continuity of our regular worship space for everyone viewing from home. 
 
If you are feeling a need for engagement, see below for some ideas…

​Pray and be thankful for everyone engaged in the necessary public employment to keep our society functioning.  If you are engaged in the essential jobs, we thank you for all you are doing.

Take a selfie of yourself and send it to the church or post on the Facebook page.  I’d love to be able to share with everyone a few pages of all of our smiling faces.  If you don’t have a camera or need help in taking a photo, contact Pastor Beth to come out and take a photo of you, from a distance, to share. If you are feeling especially creative, take a photo of yourself with your palm frond from the Palm Sunday worship, included in the Palm Sunday Bulletin, or available for download here. https://tinyurl.com/wavingpalm

Record yourself passing the peace.  If we can get enough of the congregation to send in short videos of peace, we can knit them together to send out to homebound members.

Take time outside.  Bring a favorite devotional, or an online bulletin with you and sit in the garden or walk along a trail to hear God’s breath around you in the stirring of the trees, the rustling of the grass and the still small voice of the church beside you.  It is spring, and time to celebrate all that springs forth from the earth each year.  What are you thankful for?

In Hope and Peace,
Pastor Beth
