Thank you to the staff—Rev. John Chase, Jane Shelly—Music Director, Jenny Smith—Pianist/Organist, Grete Hansen—Student and Family Ministries Coordinator, and Roger Johnson— Bookkeeper/Office Coordinator. Each of them had to change how they do their job and often learn new technology.
Thank you to the members of the Worship Commission—Carol Goodrich, Jenny Smith, Jane Shelly, Marcille Roth Roberts, and Pastor John. Many of our meetings included Karyl and Steve Crook (facilities), Grete Hansen, and Roger Johnson.
We thank Steve Crook for writing COVID-19 safety protocols that were approved by session. Steve and the Facilities Commission ordered supplies, made signs, and prepared for what our sanctuary would look like when we were able to return to the sanctuary. Later, Steve led the team preparing the campus for our outdoor worship service. Karyl was there to greet attendees, ask protocol questions, and take temperatures.
Thank you to Jane Shelly, Music Director, for figuring out how to add music to our Zoom service. Thanks to Jenny Smith for learning to record music at home to be put into the service.
Thank you to Worship Leaders who willingly started leading worship from their homes, and to our Discovery Time leaders who had to adjust to presenting to children they could only see on a computer screen in their homes.
