Happy Easter Providence!

It is an exciting time in our church year as we celebrate and remember that Jesus is Risen! He is Risen Indeed! I was really excited to see our sanctuary full for our Easter service! It feels good to be back and I know that we are working to keep opening back to normal. With that in mind, I am still reminding everyone that it is still necessary for us to keep wearing our masks while inside the sanctuary. Yes, I know that a majority of our congregation has been fully vaccinated and/or have the antibodies. But we must remember that not everyone has been. Our children and those in our congregation with compromised immune systems are still at risk. We must take seriously the charge we have to do good and do no harm as United Methodist. I want to make sure everyone feels safe coming to worship on Sunday. I know that masks are hard to wear and that is why we are still having a condensed worship service. Masks will gradually be removed, but not right now. I urge all of us to continue to wear our masks and maintain a safe distance within the sanctuary and community. We are almost there and I can’t wait to celebrate with you when the pandemic subsides! (Yes, I am planning on a cookout with all the trimmings when this is done!!) 

Again, I am grateful to be back worshiping in our beautiful sanctuary! Keep safe and see you soon!!

Blessings,
Justin
