In light of the COVID-19/Coronavirus situation, Session decided unanimously to suspend all Church-related activities and meetings until further notice.
In making this difficult decision, Session followed the recommendations of the Winnebago Presbytery, the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the State of Wisconsin, and other authoritative sources, as well as its own collective sense of what is best for our congregation at this time.
The Presbyterian Pantry will continue to operate on the second and fourth Tuesday of the month from 10 am to noon. See below for more information on the Pantry.
In taking this action, Session is mindful that this leaves a spiritual vacuum in our lives. To help fill that void, you can take the following steps:
Our friends at First United Presbyterian Church are continuing to conduct a “virtual” church service online. You can view the service in one of these ways:
Here is how you can join First United as we continue to have suspended in-person worship:
If you don’t have the ability to use a smartphone or computer, you can call in to listen to worship on Sunday mornings. Here’s how:
- Dial: (312) 626-6799 just before 9:45am on Sunday mornings. When prompted, enter the meeting ID, (contact Connie for ID) followed by #. There is not a participant ID so you will press # again. This will allow you to participate in an audio only version of worship through Zoom on your telephone on Sunday mornings!
Many thanks to Pastors Luke and Meggan and to the First United Church family for sharing this blessing with us.
We have also begun sending out a resource called “Taking Faith Home”, which will provide our our congregation with devotional and other materials for use in your homes.
We trust that you understand why we have taken these steps, and ask for your prayers and support, and of course for prayers that this pandemic comes to an end soon.
We will keep you promptly advised of any future developments. If you have any questions, please contact the Church office or any member of Session.
Thank you, and God Bless,
Session
