Hope that this first week in June finds you well.
Sunday, June 7 will be our first holy communion together in worship. Theresa Goldston will be the Deacon in charge.
As you know, our Elders had our first meeting in a while since the stay home policy began. We discussed and agreed on several things which I am sure you have wondering about. So, here it is:
Permissible with safe distancing:
Exercise groups (EEP and Yoga)
Quilters are welcome to return
Church-sanctioned activities and events (movie nights, game nights, etc.)
All Worship services and meetings
Protective face masks are optional.
Not yet permissible:
Donations to the Rummage Sale (let's give it a little more time.)
External organizations wishing to use our space.
Friends, I hope you can be patient with this next step in the process of reopening. It is tempting to open everything up, but we aren't quite ready for that. The Session will keep you apprised of developments.
Please remember to send Kenna (or me) your recipes for the next cookbook.
What a joy to have you in worship yesterday for Pentecost Sunday!

This Sunday is called "Trinity Sunday." It recognizes the doctrine of the Trinity. Most special Sundays we recognize are of a certain moment in the Biblical history. But Trinity Sunday takes what Scripture says about the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, culminating in a doctrine of this mystery of God. Here is a link online to a description of Trinity Sunday: https://www.presbyterianmission.org/ministries/worship/christianyear/trinity-sunday/
I hope that all of you have a great week! May God bless you and keep you until we meet again.
Much love,
Amy
