Congrats Graduates! Samantha Gibbons – Elizabeth Forward Alaina Mulvihill – Thomas Jefferson
We are so proud of you.
click here to see the recording of our worship on sunday June 14th. we had 24 people and beautiful weather! hope to see you next week!
ZOOM Bible Study: We have been meeting on this video conferencing software every Thursday evening at 7pm It’s easy to download and run! We review the gospel reading for the upcoming Sunday and have informal conversation centered around God’s Word.
Masks Available: We have a small stash of both cloth and disposable masks in the Communication Room. Please remember to consider the safety and health of others when you come to the church and wear your mask when you engage with your sisters and brothers in Christ.
VBS: There will be no VBS this summer, due to the high risk and difficulty of protecting the health of all involved.
Office Hours: Dorothy will be in the office 10am-2pm as usual on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Home Communions: If you are unable to attend public in-person worship gatherings, please contact Pastor Erin if you would like to have Holy Communion brought to your home.
Handbells: We are currently refraining from singing together during worship because of scientific research that shows singing being a real risk for airborne droplets and viral transmission. This is hard. We Lutherans are a musical people! If you have interest in a different way of making music, consider learning to play handbells together with us! Meeting for now, on Thursdays at 10am, with a socially distanced practice at the church.
Youtube Videos: We will continue to record worship each week and make it available on out Youtube channel. All our previous services can be found by searching for “Peace In Greenock” on Youtube, or clicking the links that are sent out each week.

Good Morning Church!
I want to thank you for all the ways you engaged with my sermon and my words last week both in person with the council and on facebook posts. As a leader in the whitest denomination in the country, I am deeply committed to exposing white supremacy in the church, identifying it for what it is, and identifying my own privilege as well. Listening to the voices of people of color and amplifying their words are what is now needed from white leaders – especially within the whitest denomination in the county.
Five years ago next week, nine people were murdered by ELCA Lutheran Dylan Roof at the Mother Emmanuel church in Charleston, South Carolina. A resolution to commemorate June 17 as a day of repentance for the martyrdom of the Emanuel Nine was adopted by the Churchwide Assembly of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America in 2019. The ELCA has shared resources to be used in congregations, and part of our liturgy today will come from that. I’d invite you to sit with feelings of discomfort when they arise and listen for the voice of the Spirit moving. Our sermon today is from our Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton, who also addresses the same topic.

Returning to In-Person Worship!
Council met on Monday June 1st and among our discussion topics was returning to in-person worship! Our goal, barring any changes to virus outbreaks or local illness, is to meet JUNE 14th at 10:45am for an OUTDOOR WORSHIP on the basketball court and grassy areas. This service will look very different, and we will be holding to CDC guidelines for social distancing and preventing spread. BUT – it is a small step forward. Many in our church will not feel comfortable yet participating in any small gathering. We will be finding extra ways to include our hisk-risk members, including communion at home, or drive in communion after worship. More information to prepare you for this event will be forth coming.
