This Sunday, May 31, I will hold a charge-wide, outdoor
worship service on the grounds of Greenbrier UMC. Please read this post carefully for details!
WHEN: 10 a.m. May 31. Please note that it will begin at 10 a.m.,
10 a.m., 10 a.m.!
WHERE: Lower parking lot of Greenbrier UMC. Park in the
upper lot. Dropping off passengers at lower lot is okay.
WHO: For anyone of Greenbrier and Gideon UMCs. Please wear
red for Pentecost!
WHAT will happen:
- It will be an abbreviated service of less than one hour.
- We will not use bulletins or hymnbooks. Elizabeth Webb will play keyboard on site and we will sing hymns by request, first verse or so.
- There will be a giving station for tithes and offerings, no plates will be passed.
- Did I mention that the service will start at 10 a.m.?
COMMUNION: I will use the prepackaged, single-unit wafers
and juice. No one will have touched them, including me, when you receive it. You may take Communion-wafer cups to other persons of your household when we
depart.
HEALTH SAFETY:
- Please bring a folding chair or lawn chair to use.
- Members of same households may sit together. Use safe distancing between households.
- Wearing of masks:
- Being outdoors is an extremely low-risk environment for catching the Covid virus.
- The Greenbrier UMC Church Council agreed on May 27 that wearing masks will not be required but safe distancing and other safe practices must be followed.
- Persons wishing to use a face mask should do so.
By the way, the service will start at 10 a.m.!
VIDEO ONLINE WORSHIP: We will video the outdoor service – it
begins at 10 a.m. – and will use parts of it for the online video worship. That
means that the video will not be available for viewing until later in the
afternoon. I will email everyone when it is online. Please remember that the
permanent web address for our online worship is: https://gumc-gideon-worship.blogspot.com/
REMEMBER TO WEAR RED FOR PENTECOST!
I look forward to worshiping with you in person – though still
“distanced” – this Sunday!
