Hey Everyone,

I hope this post finds you all well on this chilly Saturday evening (at least in Lake City). We’re mixing things up tomorrow for worship, so I wanted to make sure you know what to expect.

As many of you know, there have been several COVID cases over the past few weeks. Although we have no known exposures in our congregation, the CPC Session met last night to decide on our immediate path forward. Consequently, we’re going to adjust a few things for the present to meet some of the concerns out there. 

Tomorrow morning, because of the prediction of rain, we will be meeting in the CPC sanctuary as we have in recent weeks. Masks and face coverings will not be required, but available for those desiring to wear one. We will be providing a live-video broadcast of the service in Darley for those desiring greater social distancing. For those preferring to connect online, Zoom will continue to be offered and the link can be found below. Additionally, we will not celebrate communion tomorrow, and we will not be having a fellowship time after church. 

Concerning the Lake City Hiker Meal, we are proceeding forward as planned. If you’re comfortable being around the hikers and other folks from town, please join us (and bring a side to share). If you’d still like to be involved, but you don’t want to be physically present during the meal, feel free to drop a side or dessert off at the Annex by 6:00pm.

Tomorrow in worship, we’ll continue with our second week in our Stewardship series, as we explore what it means to offer God your gifts and talents. The preaching text is Romans 12:1-8 and can be found here. And the rest of the lectionary texts can be found here.

Beyond those updates, here are your weekly announcements:

Trail Hiker Meal
Sunday, August 1st is our fourth Trail Hikers Meal! Join the churches of Lake City in welcoming the hikers from 6-8pm in the Annex for a Ham Dinner. If you’re planning on joining us, please bring a side (for 8-10 people) to share.

Hey Everyone,

It’s been a busy week and one that has left me writing this email on Saturday afternoon amidst the lovely scent of roast fowl. Currently, I’m roasting two turkeys for tomorrow’s Trail Hiker Meal–Thanksgiving in July. Last week we had 26 hikers and we’re expected to have more this week. Consider joining us tomorrow night for this wonderful ministry. 🙂

With everything going on right now, I hope that you’re all safe and dry. Last night, we played host at the Annex to a group of folks who were stranded by the mud slides on 149. Between our budding hiker ministry and these folks seeking a place of refuge, I’ve been contemplating the both the majesty of God’s provision in our lives and our grateful response. I’ll share more tomorrow morning. 😉

Speaking of tomorrow morning, given the forecast, we’ll plan on meeting inside the sanctuary and on Zoom. We will also be having fellowship in Darley Hall directly following the service. Tomorrow’s preaching text comes from 1 Peter 4:7-11. You can read the preaching text here. The other lectionary texts for tomorrow can be found here.

Here are your announcements for the week:
