BUILDING & GROUNDS: The building is disinfected and limited administrative work is being done in the office. John, our custodian, has a great start on cleaning up the grounds. Bob Smith programed the carillon to play Easter hymns. Don Moody continues to check on the humidifier in the piano.
CHECK-IN PHONE CALLS: Please continue calling the people on your Church Community Phone List. There are a few people I have not been able to reach by phone. Remember to ask if there is anything they might need assistance with or prayers for. If someone is having a difficult time, encourage them to call me at (207) 975-1615 or offer to contact me and I’ll call them.
I am here if you need me. Pastor Chellie
BUTTERFLY HUGS NEEDED! The last two Sundays I’ve been driving around and collecting Butterfly Hugs from church members. What are Butterfly Hugs you ask? Hold your arms out like wings and slowly flap them. ☺ I’ll call you when I’m close to your house and invite you to come to the door. We’ll send a hug across the driveway. I’d love to take a picture of you Butterfly Hugging to post on our web & Facebook pages.
PLEDGES: We may not be in the building but our monthly expenses – like yours- continue. We appreciate your effort in staying current with your pledges and offerings. If possible, please mail to:
Joyce Smith
PO Box 295
Rockport, ME 04856
Write PLEDGE or OFFERING on the memo line.
You may also want to consider setting up BILL PAY. Ask your bank for more information.
FINANCES: Our application to CARES Act / Payroll Protection Program (PPP) has been approved. Richard will share an update on this in the coming weeks.
ZOOM MEETINGS: TBA
POSSIBLY COMING SOON
