Good morning everyone,
I know that many are looking forward to the day when we will be able to return to in-person worship services, and I am right there with you. The decision to cancel in-person meetings and shift to a Livestream and zoom meetings format was not taken lightly, and I assure you that the deacons and I spent several days thinking through that decision. Since the middle of march, we have been monitoring the situation on a daily basis and talking with health care professionals, pastors, and many others about what is going on and their response to the COVID 19 pandemic.
It has been advised by many that we continue to Livestream and have zoom prayer meetings until the risk of infection is minimal or gone. Over the past few days, I have spoken with the deacons, and we agree that we should maintain our current path until at least May 15th.
We remain flexible on the date as the situation changes on an almost daily basis. While I would love to say that the May 15th date is a hard and fast date, we have not come to a conclusion on that just yet. The deacons and I will be meeting this Thursday to discuss and plan our return to in-person services. There are many details and factors that go into starting back up, and we will be discussing them all at the meeting. The health and safety of our congregation are of utmost importance to us. Please be patient with us as we plan toward a safe and healthy return. We will continue to update you all as more information becomes available.
Have a wonderful day,
Lee Lennox
