Worship at the PARKING LOT/south lawn this Sunday!

If you ever wanted to worship at the “South Lawn,” next Sunday is the closest opportunity you may ever get! See below for “next Sunday’s worship plans.”

But first, a recap from last Sunday. That morning, as I watched the rain come down steadily, I wondered if anyone would come to the service. So, it was deeply moving for me to see God’s people arrive, and to sense our single-mindedness as we gathered in the cold rain to seek the LORD and to worship His Name. To come for a parking lot service on a pleasant sunny day is one thing, but to gather on a rainy, chilly morning is something altogether different. In addition to the many who gathered in person, there were many others, unable to attend, who gathered for worship online at our pre-recorded service. With all of this in view, I was reminded of the passage in Acts that describes the early church as gathering together with “one mind” (Acts 2:46).

It was deeply moving for me to see God’s people arrive, and to sense our single-mindedness as we gathered in the cold rain to seek the LORD and to worship His Name.

NEXT SUNDAY’S WORSHIP PLANS

Sunday, May 24, 11:00 a.m., we plan to worship in the south parking lot, lawn area. Come between 10:15-10:45 to get a parking space. The details are similar to last week:  

  • If you or your family are ill, we ask that you please stay at home on that day. 
  • If you are unable to come, or uncomfortable in doing so, we understand. Please worship with us by accessing the pre-recorded sermon on our website homepage (scrolling banner, available at 11:00 a.m.). Please note that the sermon online is the same as is being preached at the live service.   
  • Parking lot attendants will direct the flow of traffic into and out of our parking lot. 
  • To free up parking spaces, please come in as few vehicles as will accommodate your family.  
  • Printed copies of song lyrics, sermon notes, and kids resources will be handed to each car.
  • If you would rather not accept printed materials, feel free to decline. 
  • The service is planned to last just under an hour. 
  • The singing and preaching will be transmitted to your car radio. The specific frequency will be announced at the time of the service.
  • There will be no need for you to step out of your vehicle during the service.
  • It is not required for you to stay in your vehicle.
  • If you choose to step out, please respect those who desire social distancing.
  • Bathrooms will be available in the building, monitored and sanitized by attendants. 
  • There will be no childcare, however children are welcome to be at the service with their parents.
  • Masks are not required.
  • In case of rain, we plan to continue with our service.

“The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases,” so let’s never forget His care!
