We will again have Communion at all services this weekend. However, we are making a change to the way communicants will receive the elements. We are asking everyone who intends to commune at the service to PLEASE PICK UP YOUR COMMUNION PACKET AS YOU ENTER FOR WORSHIP. At the conclusion of the service, and at the direction of the pastor, we will all commune together in our pews. We will ask you to carefully hold on to your empty packaging and place it in the receptacles as you leave worship.Parking lot Communion will be available at the 6:30, 8:00, and 10:45 services this weekend. Look for the tent at the northwest parking lot drive at church and on the drive at Connect. Beginning on the weekend of June 14, we will alternate services with parking lot Communion, using the same pattern we used before COVID 19 for Communion during worship services:First and third Sunday of the month – Parking lot Communion at 8:00 & 9:30Second and fourth Sunday of the month – Parking lot Communion at 6:30 & 10:45.Chapel of Hope Communion services will resume on Monday, June 15th. We will have strict limits on the number of people we can safely seat in the Chapel and are adding a 1:30 service for the summer. Depending on attendance, we will make other adjustments as necessary.Daily broadcast and devotion at 10:00 will continue at least until the middle of June. We are working on ways to continue Channel 191 and on-line Bible study/devotions on a regular basis. More to come on that.Administrative Pastor CallAt 7:00 p.m. on June 4th, we will conduct a web-cast “town hall” meeting to provide more info and to address questions or comments that have been submitted.The virtual Town Hall Meeting can be accessed from the St. Lorenz app and web site as you would do for any Connect service. Ministry Council’s desire is to keep this an “in-house” discussion and has determined that, for that reason, the Town Hall meeting will not be broadcast on Channel 191. A recording of the meeting will be made and a link will be available for those who aren’t able to tune in for the live broadcast. Instructions for accessing the meeting on-line:At , click on the “Media” tab at the top of the page. Then, click on “Connect Services.” PLEASE DON’T BE CONFUSED BY THE NEW LOOK OF OUR WEB SITE.
