Greetings folks-
We've had a long year with COVID. I know some of us have adapted well, some of us are itching to get back to "normal", and some of us are anywhere in between. After doing a quick survey of the congregation and in talking with your Administrative Chair, Jim, we've decided to begin worshipping in person beginning May 9. While I'm sure we are excited to hear the news, know that when we come back, there will be some changes to what we're used to. Here are a few things to expect:
1. Masks will be required inside the building. It's good practice when we have larger groups outside our family groups.
2. We will ask for family groups to spread out within our sanctuary to allow for safety of individuals, but to also allow singing. Best studies right now show that when masked and distanced, singing does not seem to spread the virus much.
3. I know Lefler is a very touchy and huggy group. And while I will not be policing touch--because it is important for well-being--it is also something to be aware that not everyone may feel comfortable yet. So we will not be passing out bulletins, passing the offering plate, or holding hands during our prayer circle. This is simply a mitigation in spreading more things around.
4. Though it is a second week, we will celebrate with communion. To be fed by God's Spirit once again--together. Yet, this will be done with individualized cups to ensure we are not spreading anything from person to person.

Even with all these things that may feel different, the spirit of Lefler will still be the same as we are bound by the Risen Christ. As always, if you feel sick, we invite you to stay home and enjoy worship online as we've done this past year. But otherwise, I'm excited to see you all in person once again.

Peace to you all-
Pastor Chad

For many years, Carl Carnes would travel to Omaha for the CWS games at Rosenblat Stadium. During his stay, he would come to worship at Lefler and we always looked forward to his visits. We are saddened to learn that Carl passed away in May. Below is the link to his obituary.

Carl W. Carnes, a faithful servant of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, died peacefully the morning of Tuesday, May 13, 2020. He was 87 years old. The family plans to hold a Remembrance Service at Bethel U.M. Church, 41799 Stumptown Rd, Leesburg, VA, 20176, sometime in the future after

This notice also applies to Lefler UMC.

Out of caution and care, our Administrative Council has decided to suspend all church gatherings until April 1, at which time we will reassess whether small groups will meet. We know that worship and small groups are ways we are fed spiritually, making this such a hard decision. Yet, even though we are not gathering, church is not cancelled. Check out our website for ways we can still connect as a church:
