Dear Members and Friends of St. Paul,
The past several months have been a season of great difficulty for our nation and our world. As a congregation, we have continued to share our worship services virtually. It is with great joy and excitement that I am announcing the reopening of our church for worship services on Sunday March 7, 2021.
Once again, our services will continue to be different! Here are the things that will be a part of the service. Pastor Jason will not meet you as you come in or thank you as you leave. If you have the need of a pastor please contact him by phone 440-376-6381.
Remember to keep a social distance of at least 6 feet, wash your hands for 20 seconds, stay home if you have a fever of 100 degrees or more or exhibit any symptoms of Covid-19. In addition, if you are uncomfortable coming to worship in person, I encourage you to stay home and continue to enjoy Pastor Jason’s online services.
It is imperative that you wear a face mask to worship services. Hand Sanitizer and face masks will be available in both the church and vestibule.
We will not be using the hymnals or Bibles. Bulletins will not be passed out as you come in. Think of how interesting it will be to enjoy the service without knowing what comes next! Offering plates will be placed at the entrance to the sanctuary for you to give your offering as you arrive or leave.
No hugging or handshakes. Let’s try something new and wave to your family and friends from the pew!
Due to our transition to on-line services this past year, we experienced a drastic drop in donations. I want to thank all of you that have continued to drop off, mail in or donated online. Donations, including Passing the Plate, are largely received during the offertory. These were significantly impacted by loss of the Sunday worship services in our beautiful sanctuary. With our reopening, you can now make your donations as you have before. However, if you are unable to attend in person services, I encourage you to take advantage of donating online through the donate button here on our website and keep supporting St. Paul U.C.C.
Please keep these things in mind when coming to worship! May we lead well as we adapt to a changing world with courage and grace!
In Faith and Love,
Linda WokatyCouncil President
