#NoSundaySchool

SUNDAY SCHOOL - The start-up for Sunday school, has been post posted to a later date. Watch for more information in your October Newsletter.

WORSHIP - Due to COVID-19 we will continue to post worship videos of our Sunday services on YouTube and Facebook for those unable to attend in-person services. Please note we are observing Holy Communion the 1st and 3rd Sundays. We are using pre-packaged juice and wafer provided in the Narthex before worship, The 2nd and 5th Sundays will be a Service of Word & Prayer and the 4th Sunday will be Affirmation of Baptism.

WORSHIP - Beginning today, May 23rd, mask wearing will no longer be required for worship - masks may be worn on a voluntary basis, at the discretion of the individual. This change reflects new guidance from CDC and the state of NC regarding masks, which they have deemed no longer necessary for vaccinated individuals. Both federal and state guidance still recommends the wearing of masks for unvaccinated individuals.

CHANCEL FLOWERS SIGN-UP FOR 2021 - There are 15 spots available to sponsor altar flowers. If we do not have more people to sign up for those slots we deliver them to the homebound at this time. Flowers are $40 per Sunday. The sign-up sheet is posted on the bulletin board in the narthex. If you want to request special color arrangements call - Russell Meadow Floral & Nature Farm - 336-685-0321. Remember that you should take your flowers home as we cannot deliver to the homebound at this time.

ALL SAINTS SUNDAY - All Saints Sunday is November 7th If there is someone you would like remembered as we name the saints at the cemetery please let us know via email or by placing their name on the form provided in the offering plate during worship over the next 3 Sundays.

ANNUAL ALL SAINTS CHILI & BINGO PLUS LOW’S TRIVIA will be held at Low's Sunday, November 7th, 4--6 pm. There is a sign-up sheet in the narthex for those who can bring chili or other items for the meal. We can also use donations of bingo prizes. We will also have some Low's trivia in honor of our congregation's 250th anniversary.

#fosterchildren:

HELP FOR FOSTER CHILDREN - Lutheran Services, Carolinas, is in need of help for foster children. The agency is looking for new or gently used duffle bags or back packs so the kids can move their possessions with some sort of dignity. If you have any to donate please leave them in the History Room. Thanks to Trish Polk for making us aware of this need (she attended an information session on
Lutheran Services, Carolinas Foster Care program at Coble's Lutheran Church last weekend).

Upcoming Events 2021

We will meet the first two Tuesdays in October (the 5th and the 12th at 10:30 am--due to scheduling conflicts). We will resume meeting on Wednesdays the rest of October (the 20th and 27th). Come join us Wednesday mornings at 10:30 am in the fellowship hall as we explore God’s Word.
