Hi First Presbyterian,

Our re-opening is rapidly progressing, so I have another update for you about that in today’s Mid-Week Meet-Up. Last night the Session met and approved the following motions:

Fellowship Hour will be re-introduced outdoors, with food and drink, beginning on June 20 with a strawberry social for Dads & Grads and thereafter as the Deacons find feasible.
Registering in advance of coming to worship will no longer be required, effective immediately.

All other protocols, including social distancing during worship (via the designated sitting areas) and required mask-wearing for those who are unvaccinated, are still in effect. There is lots of space available at both services, and I hope to see more of you who are comfortable coming to in-person worship. I also look forward to worshiping with those of you participating online from home.

Because of the 11:30 am outdoor service on June 20, there will be no 8:30 am service that day. Whether you are participating in the 10:00 am service or the 11:30 am service (or both!) that day, I hope you will come for the strawberry social between the two services. It will be a safe environment outdoors to see some of your friends you might not have seen in a long time and to celebrate our graduates and our fathers.

Let’s give thanks to God for the unfailing and unconditional grace we are shown through Jesus Christ and for the hope we have for the future!

Peace to you,

Pastor Neff
