Worship with us this Sunday, June 7. Receive Holy Communion this weekend. Services will be held at 9:00 AM and 10:15 AM at the Trinity Meeting Center: 7813 Mitchell Blvd, New Port Richey, FL 34655. Help balance out our service attendance. Consider attending the 9 AM service this weekend.
We recognize that some may not be ready to return to public worship at this time. We understand. We want our members to know there is no obligation to attend worship. We will continue to record and offer online services that will be posted on Facebook and our website each weekend.
Guidelines for gathering:
- Hand sanitizing stations will be provided
- Masks are recommended during worship, but not required. At this time, we are not able to provide masks. Please bring your own. We have ordered masks, they are expected to arrive in the middle of June.
- Our worship team will help to arrange seating to promote social distancing.
- Communion and dismissal patterns will be modified to maintain physical distancing as much as possible.
- By offering two services we have been able to maintain physical distancing.
- We ask that those who are sick, high risk, or have been exposed to COVID-19 within the last 14 days not gather for worship at this time. Online services will continue to be made available.
- Offering plates and guest registers will not be passed. You can place your offering in the basket provided on your way in or out of worship. We encourage setting up giving online or by text.
Bible Study and Children’s Sunday School:
- Adult Bible Study will be offered online and in-person after the second service at 11:15 AM on Sunday. It will be live-streamed via Zoom. We hope to have a remedy for our audio difficulties last weekend. Bible Study will continue to be offered online Wednesdays at 1:30 PM and 7:00 PM.
- Children’s Sunday School lessons will be provided to parents.
I am looking forward to spending time with our church family.
A Prayer for Our Communities and All Civil Authorities:
Lord God, you have graciously given us the companionship of friends and neighbors by placing us in communities where we may live in harmony and work together for the good of society. Keep us free from injustice, indifference, and prejudice. Lead us to seek the welfare of others, and make us willing to contribute to the improvement of our neighborhoods, towns and cities so that people of diverse cultures and differing talents may enjoy peace, justice and good order.
Bless our president, the members of Congress, and all officials who serve us in state, county and local governments. Impress on all in authority the sacredness of the responsibility you have placed on them. Give them gifts required for leadership, wisdom to make laws that will bring order and justice to our society, and compassion for the downtrodden. Purge our land from dishonesty and corruption in government. Teach us to honor all civil authorities as your representatives. Through stable government provide throughout our land an atmosphere where your church can do its work in peace. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
