THE MITTEN TREE
Thank you to everyone who donated items for
our Mitten Tree. Linda Avallone was able to deliver
14 pairs of children and 22 pairs of adult gloves and
mittens to Family Service League because of your
generosity!
2015 OFFERING ENVELOPES
 The 2015 Offering Envelopes are now available on
the table in the hallway. If you don’t see a set and
would like one, please call the church office. If you
give electronically, you don’t need a set, as it ers self-improvement programs and United Methodist Voluntary Services community advocacy projects. Your gifts on Human Relations Day will support an outreach program of Theressa Hoover United Methodist Church in Little Rock, Ark. The church sponsors a residential and out-patient program for men and women with addictions. Graduates of the program participate in an eight-week course that provides training for unemployed or underemployed people. The offering also supports Exodus House, a ministry in Oklahoma that helps former prisoners to receive the emotional, spiritual and physical support they need to make it on their own. Please give generously on Human Relations Day. Thank you!



The Joy of Music

Our very own church band, Leap of Faith, has CD’s available.  Suggested donation is $10.  It truly is a joy to hear!  See Ron DiCesare, Christine Jordan, or Philip Jordan to pick up one.

Hello Church Family,

Per the attached letter from our Bishop, and in consultation with our reopening team, we are again requiring everyone to wear a mask at all indoor worship services or gatherings.

Our updated guidelines are also attached and will be included with the Sunday Bulletin.  Please be sure to read it through to become familiar with them.

Thank you for your cooperation in keeping us all safe and healthy!

We pray that you are safe, healthy and stay connected!

WAYS TO STAY TOGETHER IN THIS TIME OF SOCIAL DISTANCING
It’s a different world now as this issue of The Focus, is being published. As we began Lent last
month, we were preparing all the ways (we thought) to observe Lent and prepare for Easter.
Now, we must do this together...but apart. Yes, in order to protect everyone, we must stay
physically apart, but that doesn’t mean we still can’t connect with each other and our neighbors.
In our technological world, we have ways to stay together: phone, email, online, waving to each
other as we come outside for a breath of fresh air. This time of staying apart truly shows us that
“The Church” is not a building.

We will continue to post all worship services to Facebook & YouTube, Thursdays & Sundays, and our children’s message on Wednesdays.

they love; the people who are out there on the front lines: the
healthcare workers, the grocery store employees, the fireman, the
police, the people who are doing all the cleaning and disinfecting, and so many others we don’t
even know. Let’s all be the caregivers for one another, just like a mom...remember, that the six
foot distance and the mask you wear today, is saving someone else tomorrow!
We can still stay together, apart: In our technological world, we have ways to stay together:
phone, email, online, waving to each other as we come outside for a breath of fresh air. This time

It is now May, and we’re still in the midst of social distancing...to protect
everyone. Being six feet apart and wearing masks protects so many
vulnerable people. I know it’s hard but it not only protects those
you come in contact with, but the people you love and the people
