Greetings to all on this Spring day,

I pray you are well and learning to cope with social distancing from co-workers, friends, and for many, their families as well. We all must do our part to keep ourselves and our neighbors and loved ones healthy. As you're probably aware, all gatherings for worship and church programing are suspended indefinitely due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Virtual meetings are taking place via Zoom. Links will be sent to you if your presence is needed.

For those who have been able to view the virtual worship services on our YouTube station, we've appreciated hearing how much you've enjoyed it. We've tallied hundreds of views already. What a wonderful outreach tool! With the current lockdown, we on staff are beginning to plan for recording various pieces of worship from our homes. That said, we are continually learning new things about virtual worship and will seek to provide you with some sort of worship experience each week. Keep an eye on our YouTube Channel – St_Paul’s UCC – to view each week’s worship service along with others in the future. All you have to do is google YouTube. Once you’re on their site, type SPUCC worship in the search bar and you’ll find our channel. All of our postings will be viewable there.

Virtual Coffee Hours are taking place at two different times on Sunday mornings – one beginning at 11:00 and the other at Noon. Links will be sent for both meetings. Please pick one you’d like to participate in and we’ll “see” you via Zoom on Sundays.

In the meantime, please know that Clare and I are available. Please email us (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) or call us on the church phone (651-224-5809). We’ll get back to you as quickly as possible. Clare and I can access our voicemail remotely. Please know, we continue to hold you all in our prayers and are seeking to find ways to connect us during this time of isolation.

With the Greatest of Hope,

Cindy Mueller
Interim Lead Minister
