STARTING TONIGHT (FRIDAY) AT 8 PM:

Julie Owen and her family are kicking off "Friday Night Light" tonight (Friday) at 8 pm on Facebook. Light a candle, then tune in for a casual compline service with the Owen family!

Would you like to pray Compline from your home and share it with our community through video? EYC folks at St. Luke's and Trinity started the trend, and we enjoyed praying with our youth and youth leaders. For "Friday Night Light," all ages, families, and friends are invited to participate.

Please contact Julie to lead future Fridays. We hope this will be another way for us to stay connected through prayer. Julie can help you with learning how to set things up and answer any questions you may have at nolteowen@yahoo.com.


Tune in at 8 pm on our Facebook page >>

ZOOM FATIGUE: A note from Becky Williams
What!! Another two weeks of working from home?! No, the Governor has not lost his mind…but working from home might make you wonder if you are losing yours!

Certainly we have all learned new ways of doing things, not the least of which is video conferencing. I spent last week on a 2 ½-day video conference, which got to be tiring, even with breaks! My eyes were tired, my brain was tired, my whole body was tired from sitting and looking at a screen for hours on end...
