On August 13, 2020, the Board met for their regularly scheduled meeting using Zoom. Among other items of business, one particular item of business was when our community could gather together again for in person worship. Recognizing the varied opinions that exist a healthy conversation brought the Board to decide that we are targeting October 4 for our in person worship. Further conversation brought the Board to decide that our October 4th worship will be a parking lot worship service. This will mean that you will come to the parking lot on the Phillipsburg-Union Road side of the building and remain in your cars for the duration of the worship service, which will be broadcast through your car radio. You are being asked to remain in your car during the service. There are still many details we are working out for the service, and also, the Board recognized that if there is a shift in the pandemic one way or another, then this target date of October 4th may be changed. If it is changed, you will be notified. The Board also asked for your grace and patience as we are in this pandemic together, and we are seeking to be servant leaders, as Jesus was. This way of life has asked all of us to adapt and adjust quicker than expected. Blessings. Sue Wampler continues to take items to St. Vincent. Please drop your donations off at the church. St. Vincent does not take stuffed animals. We continue to partner with Fairview Church Food Pantry. Please consider bringing a food pantry donation to the church.
