Greetings!

Can you believe that summer is so quickly approaching? The excitement of the end of the school year and potential adventures of summer usually stir our spirits to experience the outdoors and engage in life with others. We all have that desire, maybe now more than ever before! I know that this period of isolation is difficult. We long to see one another, worship together, and share life.
As a church family, we want to gather again soon. Our leadership is steadfast in the decision to remain patient until we enter Phase 2 before we come together on campus for worship. We are making plans for that day because we know that our gatherings will look different until this season of life is behind us. I encourage you to remain patient with us and stand firm in the faith. 
Until then, we want to provide a few opportunities for you to interact with us. We will hold two special events in the next few weeks to give us a chance to see your face and say hello! These events will take place outside, and we will follow strict social distancing guidelines. 
Drive-Thru Fellowship
Come to the church on Sunday, May 31st from 2:00 - 4:00 p.m. , and spend a few minutes visiting face-to-face (from a distance) with Pastor Derek and Rachel at this Drive-Thru event. When you stop by, you will receive your Bible study book for our summer series and a special gift from the church. Come by and share your smile, prayer requests, and words of encouragement with your pastor. We can’t wait to see you there! 

Directions:
  • Enter the church parking lot from Brockington Road
  • Drive under the awning to visit and receive your gift
  • Remain in your vehicle to maintain social distance
  • Exit onto Warden Road
 
Picnic on the Grounds (Social Distance Style)
Come and join us Saturday, June 6 at noon on the church property. You are welcome to stay as long as you feel comfortable. Bring your own picnic lunch, lawn chairs, and blankets as we enjoy time together as a family! Don’t worry, we will follow social distancing guidelines, and family units will remain together. This event will be outside (no building entry will be permitted) so plan accordingly. This date is subject to change based on guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
This Sunday @ Baring Cross
Take time to worship with us this weekend. Join us on Facebook Sunday morning at 10 a.m. for the livestream of this week's worship service. We will then post the service on our website at 11 a.m. Derek will continue the study from Romans this week. We hope to see you online!
