Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you, he will never leave you nor forsake you. Deuteronomy 31:6
Dear friend,
Whether we gather from our homes or on-site, it's been nice to hear Jesus' word with you and proclaim his name these last few weeks.
Here are a few updates:
As best as I know, there are no confirmed cases of COVID-19 among Peace’s attenders. We know people who have it or have had it.
9 am service has about 30 on site. We only use screens, no bulletins or hymnals. Offering is at the door. Only a few people wear masks. 15-20 devices are connected online each week.
10:30 am service has between 35-45 attendees. We gather around the pavilion. Please bring your own chairs. There is no need to wear masks.
Most attenders have participated in the Lord’s Supper.
I am aware of the breakouts connected to a church in Sheboygan Falls, WI, a church in Oregon, churches in Virginia, and there are probably many others. I’m sure there are many thoughts and considerations about these situations. We’ll try to monitor these situations.
As we have gathered again on site, people have begun giving through physical gifts. Thanks for your generosity. Year to date, income and expenses are about even through May around $62K. We’re about $10K short of budget. If you are able, I encourage you to try electronic giving at peaceotsego.org/give in order to minimize physical interaction surrounding giving.
If you’re joining us for the first time, please check out the guidelines and sign up so we’ve got the space for you.
Sincerely,
Nathaniel Timmermann, pastor at Peace
