HOPE HERE

Worship Continues with Zoom

The Reedville Church continues to worship on Sunday mornings at 9:30 am using Zoom video conferencing. If you’d like to receive a Zoom invitation, please contact the church office.

All in-person gatherings are suspended for the time being, including our building guests and community partners. However, the Deacons’ Food Pantry continues service the first Tuesday of the month, 10:00-noon (or when supplies run out) incorporating safe practices. Pre-prepped bags include masa, rice, beans, sugar, and oil.

Some church groups are also holding virtual meetings for administration, study, and games.

We hold the community in love and prayer, including through the Community Prayer Mailbox located on the church lawn.

Nothing can separate us from the love of God… (Romans 8)

Why hope here?

Whether you’re here for a year or a lifetime Reedville is a landing place, a community that cares for one another.

In-Person Worship Plans for Sunday, June 20

Worship this Sunday, June 20, is IN PERSON. For this Sunday there will be NO ZOOM WORSHIP and no virtual component. Reservations are required by 12:00 today. Mask will not be required of vaccinated participants with proof of vaccination. All others are welcome with masks.

In-person worship resumes UPDATE:  With the COVID situation rapidly improving and vaccinations quickly approaching the governor’s 70% threshold for reopening, Worship Ministry Group realized that it is not necessary to hold our first in-person worship outdoors. Our June 20 service will be held in our sanctuary, but we will still observe proper distancing. Masks will not be required for vaccinated participants. Washington County requires that vaccination proof be checked. Unvaccinated participants are welcome with masks, and anyone is welcome to wear a mask. Hymn texts will be printed in our bulletins instead of using our hymnals in the sanctuary and we’ll retain recommended precautions regarding excess movement such as passing the offering plates, communion service, etc.

However, since we do not know if that threshold will be reached by June 20, we will still utilize a reservation system for planning seating in the sanctuary. Please contact the church office or 503-649-1282 before Thursday, June 17, and let Heather know you plan to attend worship and how many will be in your party for seating. When you arrive on Sunday, the sanctuary will have been clearly charted out to identify the current required distancing for seating indoors. Greeters will be on hand to assist. Offering on June 20 will be accepted as you enter or leave the sanctuary by way of an offering plate on a table in the rear of the room. Offering envelopes will be available.

At the present time, these guidelines apply to June 20 only as the regulations are in such a fluid state. We look forward with much joy to in-person worship again on June 20, 2021. ALL PLANS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

Other dates to note: Indoor worship will be held Sunday July 11 and 25, and August 8 and 22. Worship on Zoom June 27, July 4 and 18, August 1, 15, and 29, September 5. We return fully to regular indoor worship September 12. ALL PLANS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

Stated Clerk condemns recent violence gripping the Holy Land

J. Herbert Nelson calls on U.S. government to take active role in defusing situation.

We have watched with shock and dismay the violence that is once again ripping apart the Holy Land and its peoples, and we are deeply concerned about a further escalation. We send our condolences to the families of the deceased and our prayers for healing to those who have been injured.

However, being “deeply concerned” does not go far enough in understanding the root causes of this current crisis. The situation that existed in Jerusalem prior to this latest flare-up was already untenable. Read more…
