We are working on all things technological (and low-tech too) right now to ensure that we have a range of meaningful ways to worship, fellowship, pray, and study together.

We will have church online on Sunday at 5 pm. It will be the first time, so it will not be perfect (even though our in-person worship is ALWAYS technically flawless 😁), but it will be us worshiping God together – and THAT, my friends, is indeed always a beautiful thing.

Our Congregational Care Ministry Team and our Prayer Group has also been working hard to ensure that everyone among us is cared for and prayed for. Members of Congregational Care and our Clergy Ministry Team will be checking in with you in the days ahead.

I have spoken with many of you over the past week and look forward to connecting with the rest of you soon.

Going forward, next week we will resume most of our regular schedule of activities via various online means – and there will be other things added as well, including Monday Evening Prayer, an online coffee hour (Bring Your Own Coffee) during the week, and the opportunity to sign up for individual conversations online with me.

We’ll be sending out a weekly email with information and links to the various services and other opportunities. Look for that on Monday mornings.

Additionally, I am collaborating with four of the pastors of our eastside church neighbors to create short devotional/reflection videos. Those will go out Tuesday-Saturday each week (my day is Saturday, but be sure to catch the other days too) on Beloved’s Facebook page. I’ll aim to send a link to the previous weeks videos in the Monday emails.

We will find ways to be together – just like always- except that of course nothing feels just like always right now. But God has been our help in ages past and God is with us and working through us all – even and especially now.

peace and blessings to you all,

Rev. Jennifer
