We need your thoughts!
Because we are now worshipping online (and will be for the foreseeable future), we’d like to know who might need help in doing that. A brief questionnaire will be arriving by U.S. mail. We ask that you complete it ASAP and send it back to the church. This will help us offer assistance to anyone who would like it, as well as giving us an idea where we should put our efforts to continue to “be the church” in the near future. Thank you in advance for your help!
Worship in the Park
Although we will not gather for worship in our church sanctuary until July at the earliest (see the explanation in my Pastor’s Ponderings), we hope to worship in our recreation park in late June. This will be dependent on the weather; rain or high heat will make worship in the park difficult if not impossible. Whether or not to gather there for Sunday worship will be a week-by-week decision. If we can gather for worship in the park, we will let you know in one of the regular One Calls, and that decision will be posted on the church Facebook page. If we do decide to worship in the park, face masks will be required, and social distancing will be observed.
Daily thoughts will continue
I (Pastor Lynn) appreciate how many of you have commented about the One Calls that Pastor Janice and I have been sending, saying that they have been helpful to you during this difficult time. Because we will not gather for worship in the near future, we plan to continue these calls, but with one change. Beginning June 1, the One Calls will be sent out only on weekdays. If there is additional information for you, it will, of course, be sent out at any time.
Sunday school is still in session!
Pastor Lynn’s Sunday school class has continued to meet through conference calls nearly every Sunday since mid-March! They have completed their study of the book of Joshua; and during the month of June, they will be considering the great themes of the Bible. They are using a curriculum that can be sent to everyone by email, and they will be delighted to have some new people join them! If you are interested in getting together by phone every Sunday at 8:00 p.m., contact Pastor Lynn or conference call guru Lindsay Schultz.
Missing Bible study?
Although Pastor Lynn’s Tuesday afternoon Bible study has been discontinued for the foreseeable future, she leads a morning Bible study every Tuesday morning at 10:00 a.m. with members and friends of the Pleasant Hill UCC. They are currently considering the book of Philippians, a letter that Paul wrote from prison to a beloved congregation. If you are missing Bible study and would like to join them, you would be warmly welcomed! They meet as an internet Zoom meeting, and all you need is an ID number for the meeting and you can join on your computer or smartphone. You can also phone into the meeting on any kind of phone you have. If you are interested, contact Pastor Lynn to get set up to join them.
