Dear Members, Visitors, and Friends of the Congregation,

          This coming Sunday, August 30, at 10:00 AM we will once again have a Parking Lot Service of Communion. As previously noted, we take every precaution to assure a safe service and I hope you will be able to join us! But I do understand if you’re not comfortable yet with gathering with others.

          Concerning in-person worship services in the sanctuary, the plan is to resume on September 13. We will, however, continue to monitor the situation and let you know if we have to delay once again.

          Below is the prayer I will pray during our Conference Call tonight, August 26, at 7:00 PM (Pastor Flanigan’s email gives the phone number or link and the access code). The prayer is rather personal in the sense that I am very much in the prayer and praying for what I certainly need, but I hope you will be able to identify with what I am saying and the prayer will become your prayer or set off a prayer or two of your own. As always, the best thing to do is not at first to pray it as you would a regular prayer, but read it through once or twice and see what happens, see what you start thinking or praying.

          May God be our normal in these abnormal times and give us the strength to continue to do what we need to do for the good of all,

Pastor Halenza
