Announcements for June 20, 2021
Our in person Service of the Word will
be held in the outdoor Chapel at 9:30am. In inclement weather, the
service will be moved indoors. People who prefer to remain in their
cars should park in the BACK parking lot and can listen to the service
through FM transmission. Communion will be brought out to the cars. All
other people should park in the front lot, with the exception of people
who need the handicapped parking.
Our pre-recorded service that premiered on YouTube each Sunday at 8:30AM is discontinued. We now will be recording the live service and then uploading it to our YouTube channel after the service concludes. It will not be live streamed and should be available for viewing no later than 11AM each Sunday. Click here to go to our video worship services info page.

VERNON CLERGY FUND NEEDS OUR HELP!
Immediate help is needed for area families to help with bills. We were
contacted by Pastor Nik Fontana of McAfee Bible Church, who is in
charge of distributing funds to the families. As an alternative
to giving aid to others through our food pantry, please also consider
donating to the Vernon Clergy fund to assist other local families
during this difficult time. Send all offerings to Holy Counselor and
mark in the memo “Vernon Clergy fund”. All donations will be forwarded
and deposited monthly in the Vernon Clergy Fund. Thank you in advance
for helping those in need in our area.
Check out Zoom meetings during the week to keep in touch with your church family.
Sisters in Prayer will not be meeting during the summer. See you in September.
Choir Chat will no longer be meeting on Thursdays.

Can you help Family Promise help those who will be at risk of homelessness once the eviction moratorium is lifted? It
is only from the support of generous donors they can continue to meet
the needs of the community and work towards their mission of ensuring
every family has a home. Your donation will not only restore the
dignity that a home can provide, but also faith in the idea that this
scary, traumatic time in our neighbors' lives does not have to be
navigated alone. Please click here
to donate now or you may place a check in the offering plate with your
donation. Please put “Family Promise” in the memo. Thank you for your
support.
