| What a blessing it was to be back in our sanctuary for worship last week. Everything went so smoothly. Thank you to Jan who handled our check in and to the greeters Carole and Marlene and also to Sandy who set up and handed out the communion cups. It was great to have Sue on broadcast and Ray on sound. Marie enthusiastically read the scripture lessons and Tomas led us in great music. And we hadn’t forgot how to clap during a rousing hymn! We had more people than expected. Thank you to custodian Jim who quickly set up a couple of rows of chairs. People safely spaced themselves out according to their preference. The hospitality team deserves a special thank you as they baked cookies for the congregation. These were placed in a gift bag with a blessing and handed out to everyone as they were leaving the church. (I believe they have something planned for this coming Sunday.) The bagged cookies were in lieu of having cookies at coffee hour. Following church we enjoyed a time of “Mask and Mingle.” We look forward to seeing you and rest assured we are following all of the COVID protocols as outlined for worship services. |
