Bishop David Bard requested that all United Methodist Churches in the Michigan Area cancel in-person, face-to-face gatherings for the remainder of this month out of an abundance of caution as more details about the COVID-19 crisis emerge. Area congregations are encouraged to use this pause of regular activities to consider what is essential in their lives and the life of their congregations.
Consequently, all in-person church services for the balance of the month of March are cancelled. I will, however, provide the weekly prayers and message online so we can continue our journey through Lent (even though we are not together in the sanctuary). Feel free to listen at our regular Sunday morning 9:30 am time or anytime (which is one of the benefits if the website).
Please stay safe and let us know if you need assistance with anything.
We look forward to resuming worship on Palm Sunday, April 5th, with Lois Bartelt’s preaching. In the meantime, We will keep you all in our prayers.
Blessings,
Pastor Rick & Sherry
