Outdoor Worship Celebrations
We invite you to join us again on Sunday morning at 10:40 for a 45-minute outdoor worship celebration. You will have the option of sitting in lawn chairs and/or blankets, or remaining in your vehicle – whatever you are most comfortable doing. Come and worship with us through song, prayer, and the preaching of God’s Word.
In the below video, Pastor Nick explains why we plan to continue having services outside (weather permitting) through Sunday, July 12.
The services will continue to take place on the west side of the church building (in front of the parsonage). This allows for lots of shaded ground for people to sit outside, as well as still offer plenty of parking for those who wish to remain in their vehicles during the service. If you plan on sitting outside on your lawn chair or picnic blanket, please be sure to park on the east side of the building (in the gravel lot or the lower level) to leave room on the west side for guests and those wishing to stay in their vehicles.
Some members of our praise band will lead us in a few songs, and this is our schedule of messages for the next four weeks.
Sunday, June 21 – Pastor Nick’s series through Micah:Walk Humbly – Micah 4 (“Find Hope in God’s Judgment”)
Sunday, June 28 – Gideon Message with Rick Smith
Sunday, July 5 – Message from God’s Word with Carson Humphreys
Sunday, July 12 – Pastor Nick’s series through Micah:Walk Humbly – Micah 5 (“Realize the Rescue from God’s Judgment”)
Please note that, for the health and safety of those in attendance, we will still ask that people practice social distancing (6+ feet). Thus, if you decide to sit outside on lawn chairs that you bring, you can sit with those in your household but socially-distanced from other family units.
If you are more comfortable, you can also simply remain in your vehicle and tune in to 91.1 FM (or listen with your windows open).
In the case of bad weather, we will move the service inside but still provide the option of listening to the service (from the parking lot) in your vehicles if you are uncomfortable being in the building at this time.
Adult family groups (aka Sunday School classes) are also meeting at 9:30 a.m., and the Richland Youth Group continues to meet on Wednesday evenings at 7. Our children’s ministry is currently suspended, though, until Vacation Bible School, which we hope to have, as scheduled, beginning July 19th at 5:00 p.m.
Questions? Just let us know.
