Important Worship Venue Changes begin July 5th
The Home Safe Team convened to determine if the team felt that we could safely hold worship in the sanctuary in the coming months.
The decision was made to continue outdoor worship services for the 9:30 a.m. worship hours for the rest of summer and into fall. The team also felt confident that we could safely hold worship in the sanctuary for the 11:00 a.m. service only
The team felt that this decision can serve our diverse congregation the best. For those who enjoy and feel safer in an outdoor setting please continue to support and sign up for the 9:30 a.m. service in the parking lot. If you wish to worship in a conditioned indoor setting sign up for the 11:00 a.m. service. We have placed the following requirements to insure everyone’s safety to the best of the team’s ability.
1. Please take your temperature at home. If it is registering out of your normal range, please stay home. If you have a fever, feel ill, or feel you are at high risk for COVID-19, please stay home and worship with us online.
2. Please wear a mask from the moment you leave your car until you return to your car.
3. Please maintain 6 feet of physical distance from all those that do not live in your home. (Pews have been separated in the sanctuary to maintain this safe distance.)
4. Please refrain from all physical contact including handshakes, hugs, etc. Air hugs are great!!
5. Please wash your hands with soap and water or utilize hand sanitizer every time you enter our building. (Touchless sanitizer dispensers will be available when you enter and exit the building)
6. Please ensure that children 5th grade and younger are always accompanied by an adult who is mindful of their physical distancing and hand/face hygiene.
7. Bathrooms will be available with sanitation stations in each one.
8. All doors would remain open before and after the service for safe entry and will be clearly labeled entrance and exit only. The stairs to the loft would be similarly marked.
9. No congregational singing is allowed at this time.
10. Hymnals and Bibles and all paper products have been removed from the pews. A screen and projector are set up in the front of the sanctuary for the congregants to follow the worship schedule and to see the words of the hymns.
11. A collection plate would be located at the exit doors for those who brought their collections to the church.
12. In order to make sure we have a place for you and your family and to adhere to the CDC guidelines of contact tracing, you must sign up that you are attending either service by signing in online or calling the church office.
13. To facilitate social distancing, please park in the open parking spaces (every other space is closed). We know that each family has developed its own guidelines for their family based on their needs. While on our property, we appreciate everyone’s cooperation following these precautions to keep our community safe. Please know these guidelines may be stricter than mandated. Our priority is your health.

Cup of J.O.E.’S (Jesus Over Everything Coffee Ministry)
The coffee ministry team would like to inform the congregation that our soft kick-off at the New Market Farmers Market was a success. We engaged in conversation and relationship with over 75 people in 4 hours. This convinces us that this is an effective outreach ministry and we are planning on going full steam ahead with other venues and hope to one day have a coffee cart/bike of our own. Please pray for this ministry and if you would like to join the team contact Pastor Scott.
Daily Devotions Starting 9/28
Monday 9/28- Exodus 20:1-4, 7-9, 12-20
How does the giving of the Law and the coming of Grace and Forgiveness through Jesus the Christ interact with each other? Do you believe the only way to uphold the law is the sacrifice on the cross or is it humanely possible to achieve obedience through our own actions only?
Tuesday 9/29- Psalm 19
How would your life be transformed If you memorized verse 14 and recited it aloud when you woke up, when you sat down for lunch, supper, and at the end of the day?
Wednesday 9/30- Isaiah 5:1-7
Who is the vineyard in these scriptures? Is this description only for the people of Israel and Judah or for all the people the Lord has called unto His name? How can we the church be a voice for justice and equality? What sin doe we commit by remaining silent?
Thursday 10/1- Psalm 80:7-15
Why does the psalmist use the analogy of a vine for the nation of Israel? What attributes of a vine are pleasing to the Lord? What attributes of the vine might be displeasing to the Lord if any?
Friday 10/2- Philippians 3:4b-14
Paul gives an example on how he knew the law inside and out, but the law was meaningless until he knew Jesus the Christ. Paul tried to uphold the law by works but after having an encounter with the living Christ, he knew that belief comes before works. What comes first in your life?
Saturday 10/3- Matthew 21:33-46
Why did Jesus preach in parables? Was it to fulfill Old Testament prophecy or to hide a veiled meaning on those who desired to harm him? Why od the parables in Matthew 21 seem to be angry? What is the anger directed toward?
Sunday 10/4- Worship online or in person.
