Dear Church Family, I pray that you are doing well. In the last few months there have been a lot of challenges for our families and our church. I’m sure that we have all made decisions we never dreamed we would make. As a pastor, one of the hardest decisions that I have had to make was closing the doors of the church building, allowing only a few people to attend, and asking everyone else to watch by the internet. It has also been hard to see all the Sunday School classes empty during our regular time for Sunday School. However, on September the 6^th we are going to have Sunday School. It will not look like regular Sunday School, there will be classes meeting in the sanctuary, others will be meeting in larger rooms. This will allow us to practice social distancing. We will also ask you to have your temperature checked at the front door before entering the building. If you can wear a mask please do so. Please refrain from shaking hands or hugging. I know this is taking us out of our comfort zone, but it is for the protection of all. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. God bless you and I look forward to seeing you soon. Bro Mike Sunday School for all ages will begin on Sept. 6 at 9:30 a.m.  Due to the current guidelines for this pandemic, we are still asking everyone to wear a mask if possible. Upon entering the building you will have your temperature taken beginning Sept. 6.   To social distance and not have too many in one room, we have adult classes meeting in different areas. Please look at room assignments below. Sanctuary Class – David Caraway Facilitator These class will meet in the sanctuary:  Adult IV Co-Ed – 50 & up, Alpha & Omega Class, Caraway Sunday School Class.  Maintain social distancing as we do during Worship.

• Mixed Blessing Class – Camella Veazey / Room 116
• JOY Sunday School Class – Lawanda Lawler / Room 118
• Boots Davis Sunday School Class – JC Campbell / Room 119
• Adult II Co-Ed 30-50 – Chris Cooper / Choir Room
• Young Married – K.O. & Lisa O’Neal / Youth Room
• Youth Girls – Libby Vaughn/Spring Cosby / Room 103
• Youth Boys – John Vaughn / Room 101

Parents please give us a heads up and let us know if you are coming to Sunday School.  Call the church office 792-1515 by 4 PM on Thursday prior to Sunday each week.  Because of the pandemic   several of our volunteers are not going to be able to help with the nursery during worship.  So that being said we are trying to get a number ahead of time so we can make sure there are enough adults to help during worship. Please note that our nursery age has also changed for worship.  Nursery will be provided for babies through 3 years old (as of Sept. 1). Also please stay home if you or anyone in your household is sick.  We will not have Children’s Worship at this time. Hopefully this will be a temporary situation.     Thank you, Lois Wilhoit & Shannon Cook Preschool & Children’s Directors

***Volunteers for worship will be needed and if you were on the list and can help please let us know.
