Hi <<First Name>>,
 



To the women of Grace,


Over the weekend and yesterday morning, I (Laura Morgan) felt an increasing need to address the question of whether an adjustment needed to be made in our plan for Brittany Mrvan's bridal shower (scheduled for this Saturday) in light of COVID-19 social distancing requirements and recommendations.

As you can imagine, any restrictive change in plans is not one the team of hosts would ideally choose or want, and so we went to some length to think carefully about what would best care for Brittany (and John) while at the same time adhering to the spirit of guidelines laid out by various leadership. We still wish to shower Brittany with gifts and blessing, but we need to avoid a large gathering. So we're making some changes, and we need your help!

In a nutshell:
We're asking everyone who hoped to attend the shower to send or deliver cards, written prayers/blessings, and gifts to the Grace Ministry Space at one of the drop-off times listed below. Then, late Saturday morning, ONLY the small team of women hosting this event will gather with Brittany. We'll pray your prayers over her, read your blessings to her, and be present with her as she opens the gifts. And we'll photograph and video portions of this small gathering to email out to you later.

The details, and some suggestions:
  1. We're asking everyone to write a prayer or a note of blessing for Brittany in the next couple of days.
     
  2. Bring that prayer/blessing and your gift/card to the Grace Ministry Space during one of the following times. One of the shower hosts will be available to receive your gift:
    Wednesday, March 18, 4-5 pm
    Friday, March 20, 8:30-9:30 am
    Friday, March 20, 6:30-7:30 pm
    Saturday, March 21, 9-10 am

     
  3. As COVID restrictions may limit your ability even to shop for a gift, could we suggest VISA gift cards if you have not purchased a gift already? One of the biggest felt needs Brittany and John have is for some larger furniture items. They would be so excited to have VISA gift cards to apply toward the purchase of a sofa, bedroom furniture, or a patio table & chairs!
     
  4. For other gift ideas, Brittany and John are registered at theknot.com
     
  5. If you have questions, please contact Laura Morgan (205-354-3488), Chelsea Price (864-354-7363) or Anne Godley (828-606-1730).
One more word:
We want you to know that Brittany is on board with these changes, and has a remarkably faith-filled focus! But we know this is hard!! So let's shower her (and John) beyond what she could imagine with PRAYER, BLESSINGS, LOVE and GIFTS -- to REALLY let her know that she is SO LOVED!

Please share this information with others, so that word gets to everyone. And again, contact Laura, Chelsea or Anne if you have any questions.

His together,
Laura, on behalf of Brittany's bridal shower team
