Holy Communion has returned to the altar rail with bread and wine. While we still aren’t partaking from the common cup, the wine will be poured into individual glasses from the common cup. Grape juice and gluten-free wafers are available. |
If you’re observing physical distancing, you may choose to wait to come up until the rail is less crowded or to commune in your seat. Please let Pastor or the assisting minister know if you need individually packaged communion elements brought to you. |

Every home in the U.S. is eligible to order a FOURTH round of 4 free at-home tests to counter the winter’s “tripledemic” threat. This fourth round began in mid-December, so if your household didn’t order any during the winter, you’re still eligible. |

|

|
|
You can order your free at-home COVID-19 tests at covidtests.gov/tests. The order form takes only a minute to fill out — you’ll “check out” your $0 order via the USPS. (I ordered mine in less than a minute on a Tuesday night and received them that Friday!) |
|
| Stay Protected! Not sure if your risk group is recommended to get a COVID-19 booster? The CDC has an easy tool called Find Out When to Get a Booster. Follow the link, then scroll down and click the button next to the heart-shaped booster sticker. 🧡 The link also contains detailed information about current vaccine recommendations. |

. . . the people of Nashville and all communities contending with the loss of their loved ones due to violence. . . . all communities suffering and mourning due to natural disasters, especially all those across the country impacted by the recent severe storms and tornados. . . . all communities and peoples that suffer from intolerance, injustice, racism, and violence. . . . all areas of the world living under threat of violence and war.
We stand with those communities and organizations, faith-based and secular, that work towards healing, justice, and peace.
We pray that the Holy Spirit brings comfort to those who mourn, strength to those who advocate for change, and peace to those who struggle to make sense of the senseless. |
