\n\nDear Sisters and Brothers,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This past week we began offering in-person worship opportunities in addition to our on-line worship via Zoom.  On Sunday morning at 8:30, weather permitting, we are holding worship outdoors at the church, using the same service as is also offered on Zoom at 10:00.  A revised set of details for how we are approaching outdoor worship is included here for your information:

If you were unable to attend today, here’s a link to the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have also added opportunities for Communion at three different times during the week.  Those times are Tuesday morning at 9:00 a.m., Wednesday evening at 7:00 p.m. and Thursday afternoon at 1:30 p.m.  This past week we had no one choosing Tuesday morning, 8 of us Wednesday evening, and 12 of us Thursday afternoon.  We will revise these times if it seems other options are better.  A reminder that, in this current time, we are limited to 25 people per gathering, and so if you are interested in receiving, I ask you to sign up in advance.  You may do so by emailing me at prkarl@stmattspringfield.org<\/a>, or by calling the office number (610) 543-8700.  To ensure all who wish have the opportunity to receive, we are requesting you to only come to one communion service each week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please continue to care for one another in this ongoing time of corona-virus.  It is so hard to remain vigilant, but it is so critical to the health of our community and our congregation that we remember this is a serious infectious disease.  Remain strong in your faithfulness, taking the steps we can to mitigate the spread of Covid-19, and working for the well-being of all.  Wash your hands; Wear a mask when around others, and Watch your distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lord thanks you, and I thank you, for these simple acts of love toward our neighbor!
