Shelbina United Methodist Church

https://youtu.be/Nn8qHOw_HW0 The sermon for this Sunday - In a Forest! Kind of.

Thankfully, Olivia is out of isolation, and will take the rest of the week off to recover from the lingering impacts of Covid 19. Next Monday, the children will go back to school and we plan for Olivia to go back to work as well at that point. Shelbina will have worship in person this Sunday. My plan is to use the screens and lead worship while still in quarantine. Between powerpoint, a webcam, and a good mic, it should work. I will be testing it on Thursday, but there is no... reason it should not work. I look forward to seeing you on Sunday. Thank you for your continued support. Peace, A

Friends, Olivia was diagnosed with Covid-19 this week. It is a mild case, but is still enough to knock her down - as she cannot stand for more than a few minutes without being dizzy. The children and I tested negative yesterday, Friday afternoon. And so Olivia will come out of isolation on Monday at midnight, and Fletcher, Sophia and I will be in quarantine until the 12th of February. Thus, I will not be preaching this weekend or next. ... Hunnewell has called off worship this Sunday - and looking at the weather - that may have been the best decision. Shelbina - Charlie has agreed to run worship, and the preacher will be our Bishop, Bob Farr. He has recorded a sermon for this time, for churches like ours to use as needed. Well, we need it. And if the weather turns bad, we will call off worship at Shelbina. Our pantry is well stocked. The parsonage is surprisingly well setup for isolating one person. I will have the video for Sunday ready by this afternoon, and will send it out via email and post it on here. Stay safe.
