While President Trump stated he wanted all churches open this weekend, the decision from the United Methodist Churches is that for safety of all, and to properly prepare, we are not ready for this weekend. As it was stated on Friday's evening news, we should love our neighbor by staying home... just a bit longer. We will continue to pray and to prepare for our opening which should be soon. The IGRC website has the weekly message from Bishop Frank Beard, and, we also invite you to continue to view the live stream of the Herscher UMC service at 10 a.m.
We will be scheduling a virtual Church Council meeting shortly to discuss our opening and plans to reach out into our community to invite them to be a part of our church family.
Please continue to pray for the Covid-19 situation and those impacted. God Bless.
