Worship is what we do with every part of our lives, honoring God with our attentiveness and gratitude to each task. (Yes, that includes weeding the garden, disagreeing with our spouse, laughing with friends, and reading Scripture.)
Liturgy is all about a gathering of people working to worship God together.
And friends, I gotta tell you ā¤µļø
IāmĀ super proudĀ of the way youāve all continue to show up forĀ the work of the peopleĀ as best we canĀ every Sunday during a global pandemic. No, itās not the same. And after 16 weeks of virtual church I know this for sure: physically being together to do the work of worship isĀ essential.
But beingĀ kinda-sortaĀ together on Zoom has been the next best thing. We canĀ seeĀ each othersā faces andĀ hearĀ each othersā voices. And it has beenĀ good.
BUT GUESS WHAT?!
This Sunday weāre going to be kinda-sorta back together, at least in the general proximity of one another.
Itās time for DRIVE-IN CHURCH!

You can still join us viaĀ ZoomĀ orĀ FB LiveĀ at home OR you canĀ drive inand pick a section of the parking lot to join us for worship.
Pastor Kevin spent most of the day working on the wiring and tech side of thingsĀ (yes heās my favorite š).Ā Heās made sure we have a super-stable internet connection and even hooked up a teeny-tiny sound systemĀ š¤ so we pastors can lead from under the pavilion (you know, the carportā¦theā¦drive-through thingy.Ā Yes thatās the technical term.)
Weāre still playing it SUPER CAUTIOUS with this whole COVID thing. Itās not something to mess around with.Ā We love you guys, and keeping you and our community safe is one of our top priorities.Ā
We will be asking every toĀ stay in their carsĀ orĀ in lawn chairs in their designated parking space. TheĀ building will remain closedĀ so use the bathroom at home.Ā š§»
