Upcoming Events
Do it Together!
We anticipate our first in person worship service will be June 28th. However, we realize that it will be impossible for many to return due to the high risk of COVID19. Therefore we are offering you a different opportunity to fellowship and worship with others, Church at Home!!! What we propose is that you gather with a couple of other people that you feel comfortable and safe and watch the worship service together, share a meal, and talk through some questions about the sermon. It will be a great way to share your faith and witness while enjoying some much needed socialization without the risk. Below are the suggestions for how you could make this work.
b. If you don't have a Smart TV, we might be able to assist you in connecting your computer to your TV so that you can still watch it on a bigger screen. Call the church office and we will try to assist you.
c. You could place the computer on your dining room table and sit around the table and watch just like we were sitting there with you.
d. Or, as already mentioned you could call us and we could provide you with a DVD of an earlier service.
6. After the service and sermon, share your lunch and discuss the questions provided for you.
7. Share prayer concerns and praises. Pray together.
8. Consider taking up an offering. You can mail it in to the church or call and someone will come by and pick it up.
9. Email or call the office with the names of those who attended so that the Paige can record attendance.
10. Repeat. Decide that day who is going to host next week's Church at Home Service. Send the name to the office so the questions can be sent to the host or appoint a communicator for the group who will notify everyone where you will be meeting and send out the questions ahead of time.
Catching the Holy Spirit
We will host a 6-week Bible Study, Acts, Catching Up with the Spirit by Matthew L. Skinner beginning Tuesday, June 9th. The study will be offered on Tuesdays at 7 PM and Thursdays at 10AM online with Zoom. It is really quiet easy to do Zoom. If you have a computer with a camera, we will provide you with a link to use. It will ask you to download Zoom. It is a safe, very small file. It will then ask you to join the meeting with video and audio. Click on that and you're done. You will be online with everyone else and be able to see and talk to the others in the class. If you DO NOT have a computer you can join the class by phone and participate that way. If you want to join either of the classes contact the church office so we can send you the appropriate link. Books can be purchased from Cokesbury or Amazon.

It will be a great way to share your faith and witness while enjoying some much needed socialization without the risk. Below are the suggestions for how you could make this work.
- Notify the office that you will be participating. That way we can email you questions each week for discussion.
- Invite family and friends you feel comfortable and safe with to join you at your home. As sermons are left up on Facebook and Youtube, you could do this any day of the week though Sunday mornings are a great time. We could also provide you a DVD of the service; however, it would run a week behind the online Services.
- Decide ahead of time if you are going to do lunch or dinner in conjunction with Church at Home. Provide the meal, do a potluck or BYOL (Bring Your Own Lunch). A meal provides for great, relaxed conversation and just socialization!
- If you choose to meet on Sunday morning, invite people to arrive at 10:15. Pray together that you will be warmed by the teaching of the Holy Spirit. Regardless of the time and day you meet, plan to spend the first 15 minutes in prayer.
- Gather together around the TV or computer screen. Sunday morning worship begins at 10:30 and the sermon at 11 AM. If you are going to watch it on Youtube the service and sermon is released at 4PM.
