Re-Opening
 

I don’t know when it is going to be that we will be opening our doors at Prince of Peace. I’m hoping for some time in early June.  But I don’t really know when it will happen. I do know that whenever we open, it will not be like flicking a switch. It will not be everything as it used to be in one quick announcement.

It will be slow, and careful, and measured.

People are talking about our re-entry into society as the “New Normal.”  I’m not sure I understand what that means or even like that terminology. I prefer to think about it as a new beginning.

We need to gather again; we need to share the Lord’s Supper; we need to have conversations; we need to worship; we need to be able to touch one another.

But like any new beginning, planning will be very important. We will want to think through what we do and why we do it. We will need to get the best advice we can, and then follow through with new behaviors and new patterns of interacting that are safe and repeatable.

I don’t want to live the rest of my life in some sort of sterile bubble. I want to live in a community that reaches out to one another, shares pews, and sings together.

But I also want to be safe and protect the most vulnerable among us. So, at least for a while, it is going to be a little bit of a balancing act. We’re going to have to find the safest ways to interact and still be able to protect our gathering together.

So before we open at Prince of Peace, I will be sending out some information about how I hope we can gather together. I am going to send this out as a video on what I want you to do, and what I don’t want you to do. As we get closer to being together, watch for my “Tips For Being The Church in 2020.”

I want us to take all of this seriously, but I also want our new beginning to be filled with joy.  

In Christ,
Pastor John D. Morris
