In-Person Church Services Temporarily Suspended
Greetings All,
With the news of a confirmed case of Covid19 in nearby St Louis and Madison County the Ad Team and I have engaged in serious conversations about the appropriate response to keep the congregation as safe as possible; and to assist with the prevention of the spreading of illness. We are heeding the advice of public health officials and the Illinois South Conference leadership to suspend services for now.
In addition, for the month of March we will be canceling all meetings and other events including Yoga, Choir rehearsals and Patchwork.
Our Fish Fry have also been postponed and we look forward to rescheduling them once life has returned to normal. Thank you to all who donated food and volunteered at the two fish frys we were able to hold earlier in the month.
I am working on plans to share at least some small video on the church Facebook page along with a daily two to three-minute thought for the day to support and encourage others.
Tithes and offerings may be mailed into the church at St. John's UCC / PO Box 418 / Brighton IL 62012 or via the donate button on this website page.
In the meantime, please do your best to follow the advice of the CDC regarding how to prevent the spread of the virus:
It is particularly important for seniors and for people who have a compromised immunity to take steps to protect themselves from illness, as this virus in particular has been devastating to those communities of people.
If you or your family is needing pastoral care or assistance that the church may be able to help with please call or text Pastor Laurie Crelly at 618-556-0801 during the day.
Please stay well, and I hope to see you in person again soon.
Sincerely,
Rev. Laurie Crelly St. John's UCC
