PACKING UP THE MEAL
Boxes can be found at the doors of South Church. Don’t forget to tape the bottoms of the boxes!
DELIVERING THE MEAL
Deliver on MONDAY, NOV. 25 between 3:00 AND 7:00pm in the South Church parking lot. There will be lots of kids to help you carry the boxes.
It’s times like these we learn a fundamental truth: The Church isn’t a building.
While we long for the day we can return to our sanctuary and welcome back our AA meetings and food pantry, we remember that despite the privilege of having a building to share, the Church was never about a building. It’s about the connections we make with one another and with God, and the ties that bind us together in service to the world.
Whether you are young or old – or a little bit of each, queer or straight – or a little bit of each, male or female – or a little bit of each, calm or nervous – or a little bit of each, we will continue to be faithful in finding ways to be Church for one another.
Worship
Until we are able to gather again in person, worship will be available via live-stream every Sunday at 10 AM on our YouTube and Facebook pages.
Digital Gatherings and Offerings
Just because we can’t gather in person, doesn’t mean we can’t gather together and grow in faith. From storytime to bible study featuring the staff and members of the congregation, our online opportunities to gather together are listed here.

We are in unprecedented days. Our prayer is that each of you might find moments of peace, beauty and love in the midst of the worry and fear. And that through connecting with one another, and with God, we might lift each other up until we gather together again in body. If there are additional things you would like to share or ask, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
