Worship Resumes In-Person Full-Time on July 11!

In-person worship at Reedville returns full time starting July, 11! 

In light of our experience on June 20, the continued reduction in infection rates, and the lifting of the governor’s restrictions on June 30, the Worship Ministry Group has decided to return sanctuary worship full time starting on July 11. This is a change from the alternating Zoom/live plan that was developed in April. Many people indicated that this was their preference. However, we also heard from people who are wary of an “anything goes” attitude that violates boundaries. With both in mind, this is the plan for the rest of the summer:

Masks are voluntary. There will be no vaccination checks, RSVPs, or assigned seats. However, one pew on each side will be designated a “wide margins” pew, where it is understood that significant space will be observed between people not in the same household.

We will be singing from the hymnals, so bring them back if you have been using one in your home! If you prefer, you are welcome to take home your hymnal after each service so that you use the same one from week to week.

Offerings will continue to be collected in the plate at the back of the aisle rather than passed in the pews, and we will continue with a modified passing of the peace with your nearby pew neighbors.

No formal Fellowship Time is planned, but people are welcome to move from the sanctuary and chat in the hall after the service.

We look forward to seeing everyone!

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.

Sunday’s Sermon: No Longer Children

Sometimes we wish we could just retreat to childhood. I do. Yet, to get along well in a complex world, a certain maturity is required, characterized by wise discernment, humility, gentleness, and love. It is both gift and intention, something to practice, bearing with one another.

No Longer Children at the Reedville Church this Sunday, Aug. 1, 9:30 am, in-person and by Zoom at the usual link. Please contact the church office if you need it.

First-Sunday Communion is suspended this month as we gradually resume in-person worship practices. We plan to resume with the Sept. 12 worship service.

Family Promise of Beaverton is August Mission of the Month at the Reedville Church

The Mission of the Month for August is Family Promise of Beaverton. Family Promise is committed to helping children and their families who are affected by homelessness in the Beaverton area. Family Promise of Beaverton is a promise to the families that that if they fall on hard times, they are not alone. It’s a promise that families will have a safe place to go with their children, not to get a hand out, but a hand up, and it’s a promise that children will never have to sleep in cars, couch surf, or sleep on the streets in Beaverton. To donate, checks may be mailed to the church office or placed in the offering plate at in-person services, designated to August “Mission of the Month” or by using the DONATE button our website.
