A Message from Pastor Katelyn - Richmond Congregational Church, UCC

Dear Friends in Christ

God is our refuge and strength,
a very presenthelp in times of trouble. Psalm 46:1

In the midst of the storms, chaos and pandemics of life – God is with us! Though we continue to be socially distanced, let’s close the spiritual distance between us by gathering together for worship virtually on Sunday at 10:00 AM. You can join three different ways and you don’t even have to have the internet – just a phone can work to get the worship audio.

This Sunday, Doug Wysockey-Johnson will offer a message, Jen and Esther will offer music, Gretchen Paulsen will read scripture, I will be leading worship from the Sanctuary and Nathan (with assistance from Anna) will be running the tech. I hope you’ll join us.

Given the Vermont school and day care closures and the CDC recommendations for social distancing, we will resume in person worship when it is advisable to gather together. In the meantime, we are committed to creatively connecting as a congregation. Please share any ideas you have for how our church can reach out to help folks in need and stay connected during this time. Katelyn is happy to set up a Zoom meeting for committees and groups that want to try out this technology to meet. Next week the church office will be open from Tuesday and Thursday 9am-1pm.

Additionally, now is a great time to consider online giving and making a one time gift or setting up a recurring pledge through your checking account. It takes a few minutes to set up through a secure web service and then can automatically deduct a monthly pledge. Here’s the link to get started.

Next week stay tuned for worship information about the Costa Rica Mission Trip.

With God’s Peace,

Katelyn
