Sunday Morning Service: ONLINE ONLY as of January 2.

Hey all-

(Too long didn't read: We're temporarily moving our Sunday service back to Zoom ONLY starting THIS week- January 2. We will continue to re-evaluate weekly).

We're continuing to monitor COVID numbers and their implications. We continue to try to discern what it looks like to keep the most people safe we can while still finding ways to live together, honor God together, grow together, and more.

COVID has been a super complicated virus to make sense of- for some, it's relatively minor, for others, deadly. This is why it's so hard to figure out what is both appropriately cautious and sensible simultaneously.

All that said, the new variant is raising infection numbers at high rates. To be quite honest, we don't yet know what it all means- but we're choosing caution.

So, starting this Sunday, our weekly service is going back to being online ONLY.

I want to close with a request- if you can still join us online, please try. We know, it isn't easy. It isn't the same. The vibe is different. It's harder to connect. We miss the music. And so on. We will do everything we can to try to make it the best experience we can. We will try new things. And we are open to ideas.

It's so important for us to continue to try to connect, especially when we're apart. This is an opportunity for all of us to show up and do something difficult together.

So many times people have told me things like, "So-and-so said such-and-such in the service a few months back and it has totally changed my life."

I kid you not- this happens all the time and you may not even know it. You may not know the impact you have on someone else's life- whether it's with a simple comment, or even a simple prayer request. Your presence matters. I promise. This is true even if you don't say anything at all- people get hope from seeing others' faces. From seeing your face.

So, please, for the sake of others, keep showing up.
