Just a note of encouragement as we approach our weekend worship services. With the many issues surrounding the swine flu we want to do what we can to alleviate anxiety. We also want to continue our worship practices and sense of fellowship. With this in mind we will ...
-- have our greeting time but invite people to greet without a handshake. I am sure there are many appropriate ways to greet one another and especially our guests.
-- We will share in Holy Communion this weekend. I've looked at our General Board of Discipleship Web site and feel we will serve the sacrament in a very responsible manner. We will continue the practice of "intinction." Our servers will handle the bread and give you a large enough piece that you may dip the tip in the cup. Health officials believe our practice of holy communion does not place anyone at an extra risk.
-- I will shake your hand at the door if you desire but will certainly honor your desires to communicate verbally or in a manner of your choosing. (That hand sanitizer stuff is pretty good.)
-- We will provide a handout when you leave worship this weekend with some thoughts on dealing with this swine flu issue.
I trust you will want to be sure and be in worship this weekend. We all have the opportunity to find ourselves in the presence of God - our healer and sustainer.
