“Fear not, for I am with you..." Isaiah 41:10
The entire order of service is being projected on the wall. However, hymnals will once again be offered if you choose to use one. You are always welcome to bring your own. You will find bulletins on a table once you enter the church as well as a basket in which to place your offerings.
During the service there will be microphones picking up the sounds of the congregation so those listening to the live-stream can hear the singing of hymns. The camera is set up along the wall of the media room, or the wall to your right if you are facing the altar. Jade will be signing during the service, so if you're walking in front of the camera that will block the view of those who have difficulty with hearing.
There will be no ushers serving at this time. Those members of an LCMS congregation wishing to receive the Body and Blood of Christ may come to the railing at the time they choose.
Bible study is continuing to offer coffee. There is plenty of room for more of you to attend.
These changes and rules may be too rigid for some people and too lax for others. However, ultimately, the Church is not based upon rules, laws, guidelines, executive orders or emergency declarations. It is based upon the love and mercy of God, without which all of us would already be dead and suffering in hell. He calls us to live lives of mercy and grace, while we love one another. He does not call His children to live by the letter of the law. The Triune God is the only Expert who knows the real truth, and He has already numbered each of our days. There is nothing you or I can do to lengthen them. As time goes by, we will get better at this if we work together in humility and repentance.
-God's peace to you-

OUR MISSION: To know Jesus and to let Him be known, by reflecting God's love, teaching our children and serving the community.
