WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

PRELUDE

CALL TO WORSHIP (Stand if able) L: Do not be impressed by the outward appearance of a person, for God does not see like we do, but looks into the heart. P: If anyone travels with Christ, there is a new creation, old things are obsolete, all things become new. L: Let us worship God who looks into the human heart and through Christ Jesus makes all things new.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Bible Study on Wednesdays at 10 am in the Family Life Center. We will continue to follow all protocols; everyone must wear a mask, social distance, etc.

Adult Sunday School Class meets at 9:30 am to 10:15 am via ZOOM so participants can attend the 11 am in-person worship. Please contact Shelley Hyre to join.

Staff-Pastor Parish Relations Committee will meet on Monday, June 14th, at 7 pm in the FLC. Encouraged to mask and social distance.

Trustees will meet on Tuesday, June 29th, at 7 pm in the FLC. Required to mask and social distance.

The Church Council decided to make masking inside the church building optional. The Church Council prefers that masks be worn, but it will not mandate that people do so. Speakers and song leaders must still mask because they project. The Council asks us to continue to practice social distancing, and the Council asks folks with compromised immune systems to continue to be very cautious and to strongly consider to continue to mask. People with compromised immune systems have still contracted covid even though they have been vaccinated. A number of people have experienced this locally recently. Thank you for your great exercise of patience and for your love for the Lord and one another. God bless.
