We will share further details in the coming days.  But what we'll share with you now is that Pastor Sarah has been officially reappointed to Clover Hill UMC for at least another year!!  Also, we were able to help support our local schools and food pantries through dropping off School Kits and Canned Food dropped off at the church.  Thanks for your giving!

UPPER ROOM DEVOTIONALS
The Upper Rooms for July-Aug have come in.  You can pick them up at the church.

COVID GUIDANCE FOR WORSHIP
Due to recent changes in COVID guidance from the government and the Annual Conference,  we will be worshipping inside for the foreseeable future (and we will be singing indoors).   Masks are recommended for everyone (especially if you have not been vaccinated), but we will remove the mask requirement for worship and church events.   Drive-In and Online will still be available.  As always, please check your health before you come, and maintain 6ft distance from others.   

(Note:  We know that everyone is at a different place when it comes to mask-wearing, vaccinations, etc.  During this time we ask that we show the love of  Christ by respecting others who have different opinions, levels of comfort, or health concerns.  We want all to be safe and feel welcomed at Clover Hill as we cut back some of these COVID restrictions.   Please contact Pastor Sarah if you have questions or concerns or ideas for how we can help all to feel that they have a place here with us. )
