Hello community! News update: we are having our second gathering Thursday, September 10, and we will be meeting at the pavilion located at Immanuel United Church of Christ.

This video also serves to announce the 2021-2023 Awakening Community Lay Directors!

We recognize that large group meetings like gatherings are a risk. We are trying to walk a balance of wanting to meet as the Body of Christ and wanting to be wise about the spread of sickness. We will continue to rest on the foundation of love and unity. We realize this may mean making decisions based on deferring and preferring others. IN THIS LIGHT, WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO WEAR MASKS THROUGHOUT THE MEETING, BUT ESPECIALLY DURING SINGING AND WHEN NOT PHYSICALLY DISTANCED. From all the information we have right now this seems to be a simple and effective way that we can reduce the risk of spreading the virus and therefore can continue to safely meet!

Please bring lawn chairs, a drink for yourself, and we ask that no food is brought to be shared. Restrooms are inside the church, but that will be our limit for “building” use. If it rains, we will move into the church for the Gathering.
