In order to continue offering Word and Sacrament ministry in this time of crisis, we are making the following changes to our schedule and procedures:
  • Indiana is currently under a stay-at-home order. Worship services suspended, both Weekday and Sunday, for at least until April 30. Instead, we will make services available here on our website, with instructions for accessing them to follow in the coming days.
    The church and school offices will have limited availability Mon-Thur 8 am - 1 pm. If you are in need of pastoral care, please check your latest email or church directory for Pastors’ cell numbers.
  • Items to be picked up or dropped off will happen in the office lobby area only, including hymnals and offerings. The church office lobby will be open Monday-Thursday 8 am - 1 pm. If you need special assistance, please make an appointment.
  • We are going to try and livestream various Bible studies. You’ll need either Zoom or Facebook Live to participate in real time. Not ideal, but better than nothing. And I think even after this craziness ends, we’re still benefit from some of the changes we’re being forced to make today.
  • Due to anticipated logistical issues and with a very heavy heart, I have decided, in conjunction with the staff, to change our service plan for Holy Week substantially. Nothing it written in stone yet, but it will be a very different week from usual.
  • Food Pantry - we are asking for food and gift card donations. If anyone is in need of food contact Jaymes Hayes.
  • Recently we sent out a request asking people if they were available to do child care for people during this time of separation and changes. Follow this link to see a list of possible child care providers, with whom you can make individual arrangements.If anyone would like to sign up to help with child care they can go here: to provide child care
  • These are cancelled until further notice:
  • NO Sunday Cross Training, adult Bible study, Nursery or Koinonia
  • NO greeters, NO nursery
  • NO acolytes or deacons
  • NO school choirs, adult choir, or handbells rehearsals or performances
  • NO April 4th Easter Egg Hunt. We plan to have packets to take home during Holy Week.
Any balancing act takes practice, and this unprecedented time of contagion, panic, and disruption offers excellent practice. If nothing else, it might give us the opportunity to get our own spiritual house in order. Let’s emerge from this crisis, whenever it relents, with clarified priorities and renewed dedication to the most important things.
