Our Pews are Full in Spirit
Give:
Remember, our expenses as a church remain constant. These offerings will help us continue to stay connected in worship. Our staff is working harder than usual to keep our relationships and our fellowship alive. Watch for other worship and devotion opportunities. Our creative juices are just starting to flow. If you enjoy these on-line offerings, please consider giving to sustain our ministries. Click on the GIVE link here or the tab above. Your gift is love made visible.
Share:
Send Pastor Jeanette pictures and selfies of your worshipful moments and all the ways you are spending your time of physical distance. Send her pictures of your pets loving the full attention of their humans. Send her pictures of your work from home life or your children being heroes at distance learning. She will compile these into albums we can view and “see” one another to increase our connection.
Pray:
Email your prayer requests or call the pastor. We remain a praying people. Let the pastor know if you are ill, have a need, or have joy to share. We have church members wanting to help and waiting to share your joys.
Connect:
A phone tree is one of the church's most ancient forms of staying connected. We are bringing it back! Phone tree leaders are being given a small group of church members to call and stay connected with throughout this time of social distancing. It's a new way to get to know one another. Don't be surprised if you hear from a church member. Feel free to reach out to others! The more the merrier certainly applies here. We are your church. We love you. You are not alone!
You can also contact Pastor Jeanette to arrange phone calls, FaceTime and Zoom sessions for pastoral care and check-ins.
Become Friends:
You can like our church Facebook Page or become Facebook Friends with our Pastor Jeanette C. Hicks to have even more connection with our church and its members. Find your friends and church family on Facebook or Instagram and link up. This is the age of connecting over our screens and phones. Embrace it.
Other Wonderful Resources:
There are so many incredible resources already out there and many more being developed to help support worship and faith development in these days of isolation. Here are some of Pastor Jeanette's favorites and many suggestions backed by Rev Traci Smith.
