On June 28th our church voted to call Kevin Finkenbinder as our new pastor. While he has been here for several months in a pulpit supply capacity, we are excited to have him in a permanent position.
While Kevin's duties are beginning immediately, his first official sermon as pastor will be July 12th to allow him to bid farewell to members of his former church on July 5th.
As we enter Phase II, we want to recognize and respect the needs of our members who are at risk, while allowing liberty for those who have lesser concerns. The leadership team has decided to move the church into Phase 2 of our reopening. Masks will be optional on the EAST side of the sanctuary (away from the parking lot) as long as proper social distancing is maintained. Masks are still required on the WEST side of the sanctuary and when in the hallways.
Anyone who is concerned about exposure is encouraged to sit on the west side of the sanctuary as far as they feel is necessary from the center aisle. Social distancing requests 6 feet of separation. The center aisle is about 10 feet wide.
We are aware that some may feel this is too restrictive while others may feel it is too loose of a standard. We will never be able to please everyone on this issue, so please exercise grace and consider the needs (physical and emotional) of those who may disagree with you.
July 12: Pursuing Wisdom - Proverbs 8:6-21
Proverbs 8:11 “For wisdom is better than jewels, and nothing desirable can equal it.”
Having the wisdom of God means loving what He loves and detesting what He detests.
July 12: John 1:1-14 - Words of Light
John 1:14 - The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
