Palm Sunday commemorates the entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem (Matthew 21:1–9), when palm branches were placed in his path, before his arrest on Holy Thursday and his crucifixion on Good Friday. It thus marks the beginning of Holy Week, the final week of Lent, which concludes with Easter. We will hold a Maundy Thursday service at 6pm on Thursday, April 9 and a Good Friday service at 6pm on Friday, April 10 (both will be on Facebook Live). Hosanna to the King!

Community Federated Church’s Responses to COVID-19
On March 15th we sat and met for a few minutes after each church service to talk about our responses to COVID-19. The major conclusion was that we want to be responsible and proactive while continuing to have services on Sundays and maintain our two studies (Lenten Study, Sundays @ 4:00 pm in the Hall, and Tuesday Bible Study @ 9:00 am.)
Obviously, we are staying connected with our local circumstances and will inform you of any changes that have to be made.
We are encouraging those most vulnerable to make their own decisions about being a part of our gatherings as a church or choosing to stay home. We honor those who have chosen to self-quarantine and will do all we can to extend ministry to them.
In this uncertain time your church is implementing several practices to limit exposure and transmission of COVID-19. Here is a list of where we are currently doing.
♥ We have dispensed with our “greeting time” – As Ecclesiastes 3:5b says, “… there is a time for every matter under heaven … a time for embracing and a time for avoiding embraces,…”
♥ We are practicing social distancing in the sanctuary.
♥ We are instituting a regimen of wiping down surfaces after services and gatherings.
♥ We will be doing “retiring offerings” instead of passing the plates/offering baskets. At the close of the service the offering plate will be at the back of the center aisle where you can drop your offering on your way out of church.
♥ We have removed the Children’s Bags for the time being. We encourage parents to bring activities for their own children.
♥ Our Facebook Live broadcast of our Sunday services is a priority. (See instructions below for finding the broadcasts.)
♥ We will be sending our weekly bulletin (especially the prayer list) each week to those with email who are choosing to stay at home. We will establish a list of those without email who are staying home and send the bulletin by U. S. mail.
♥ We will mail the sermons to any who don’t have email; email them to those who do.
♥ We are dropping off sermons and bulletins at the Pioneer Home each week (our “angel” Kay is sharing them amongst our members there!).
Help us continue to spread the love of God by:
♥ Praying for all!
♥ Being aware of and connected to your neighbors. Call someone who is staying at home. Email, text, even (if we remember how) write a letter. Send a card of encouragement. Be Christ’s hands and feet – in safe ways – to those around you.
♥ Remember to support your church so we can keep reaching out.
