There will be an “online camp” for all ages! Check out sodcob.org for information. The flyer is attached as well! The District June Newsletter is attached! Annual Conference Virtual Choir Recently, Annual Conference Moderator Paul Mundey announced plans for a denominational virtual choir. Three hymns are projected to be a part of the overall project: “Blessed Assurance,” “I See A New World Coming,” and “Move In Our Midst.” The three hymns will be used in the Virtual Denominational Worship and the Virtual Denominational Concert on July 1 and 2. You can find more information about them at: www.brethren.org/news/2020/denominational-worship-service-to-be-virtual-event.html Now we need your participation, as we join together to worship the Living God, in Christ, during these challenging days! In summary, a virtual choir is produced by each individual person recording themselves singing along with the hymn, and then all those submissions are painstakingly put together into one grand compilation that includes all the voices. Each of us gets to contribute our small part to help make up the whole (much like with the church!). As it is with large choirs, individual voices will not be heard, just all of us together. We’ve set ambitious goals for this project, and are working on three hymns at once. We welcome your submissions as soon as possible The Early-Bird Deadline is June 7, 2020; The Final Deadline is June 14, 2020. Please pay careful attention to these deadlines for sending in your submissions, because we are on a very tight timeline as we hope to have the final choir pieces ready for our worship celebration July 1. To make your submission go to the following web link: www.brethren.org/VirtualChoir For general questions about the Virtual Choir project, please contactcobvirtualchoir2020@gmail.com. For technical assistance, please contact: assistance@LivingStreamCOB.org. Please pray for the project overall, and the project core team consisting of Enten Eller, Paul Mundey, and Dave Sollenberger.

Long Term Needs: Elois C., Shirley C., Aaron M., Sam P., Chad P., Reta S. Churches and more: Our district churches, Trinity Presbyterian Church, Church of the Brethren in Nigeria (Godiya Bitrus), Bethany Theological Seminary, for those struggling in various ways during this pandemic Our shut-ins could use letters and cards.

I will be checking both email and voicemail regularly. 937-836-6145 or salemcob@gmail.com We would like to have a Salem Quilt created during this time of pandemic. Those who are interested in doing this would be asked to create a 10.5 inch square, with a 1 inch space on all sides. The quilt square can reflect whatever you would like it too. Some suggestions may be creating a square that reflects something you have experienced during this pandemic, an activity that you and your family have done during this time, something that you are looking forward too when we can gather back together again. The goal of this quilt is to have it be something that we create together, while apart, and are able to celebrate when we are joined together again. This quilt will be blessed and be a fixture in our building. If you have any questions, please contact Carol Shroyer. Salem, Trotwood and Happy Corner would like to work together this upcoming week to create support bags for the employees of BRC. These bags would contain snacks and a note of encouragement. The snacks would be a salty snack, a sweet snack, and an energy bar. We are asking for members to put these bags together in whatever number they can. If you are interested in doing this, please contact Pastor Lee for further information no later than Friday May 15.

I miss all of you so much. I surely was blessed with cards, telephone calls and so forth. Guess you all know that I am quarantined up here, because of the Coronavirus. It sure is not fun being in your room for so long by yourself. Gets pretty lonely. Several of you have sent cards, pictures and so forth, which really helps. Just remember that when this virus is over, my door is always open for you to come see me at BRC room number 272."
