 More News from the Worship Board

            The worship board would like our folks to know that we have started work on two major projects.

            Visitation Team – We are beginning the process of rebuilding our “visitation team” to assist the Pastor on calling on shut-ins, visitors, etc. We have some folks already committed to being a part of the team, and would like to know if there are any others who would like to join them. If so, please contact the church office and someone from the worship board will get back to you shortly.

            Membership Review – Despite the fact that our by-laws specify that we should review the membership roles every three years, it has been quite some time since they were last reviewed. Consequently, it is quite an arduous task to bring those roles up to date. We share this announcement with you to alert you to the fact that you might be hearing from us soon.  

During the winter time, there is always a big struggle to decide whether to hold church in the event of a storm. The biggest part of the struggle is how do you notify people? So, we thought we might review the cancellation policy.

Now comes the tough part. If we decide to cancel church, how do we let people know? The church office has developed a contact list of those who attend church regularly. After the decision to cancel has been made, the pastor will contact Channel 2 and have the announcement posted. In addition, the pastor will send an email (by 8:00 a.m.) to all those for whom we have email addresses. So be sure to check your email before you get ready for church. For those who do not have email, we are devising a call list to call people by phone to notify them of the cancellation. Hopefully, between the two, we will get to those most likely to attend.

Tapes Available

            Occasionally folks are unable to make worship services due to other commitments or for healthy reasons. The Worship Board would like people to know that tapes of the worship services are available upon request. Just let us know. J

 Introducing – The Federated Flash

            What’s the “Federated Flash”, you ask? Well, it’s a news flash and more. The Flash is a new weekly email format that is part weekly devotional and part newsletter sharing the  happenings of the week, upcoming events,  and news of who needs our prayers. The devotional piece is a walk through the gospel of Luke, starting at the beginning. It’s a walk that will be quite informative and take some time. We have comprised a list of folks for whom we have email addresses, but we think there are more folks out there who might be interested in receiving the “flash” newsletter. If you are presently not receiving the “flash” and would be interested in receiving the newsletter please either email the church office (fedchurch@capital.net) or the Pastor (rtulip1@twcny.rr.com). We make every effort to protect people’s email addresses!
