What can I do at Grace Lutheran Church during Phase 2?
Meet with a Staff Member
You can now arrange to meet with a staff member at Grace. Up to three people can meet with a staff member at a time, so long as they are from the same household. These meetings could involve things like youth ministry planning, pastoral counseling, or a conversation with the intern pastor.
Meet with a Small Group
Groups of up to five people from separate households may now meet on Grace's property. These meetings could be for prayer groups, committees, project teams, or other requests.
Follow Safety Guidelines
All meetings at Grace must follow COVID-19 safety guidelines! Wearing a mask is required for any meeting, as is washing or sanitizing hands before and after arriving at the church. Posters of safety practices are displayed upon entry to the church. But please do not come to the church without wearing a mask!
Scheduling a Meeting
To request a meeting at Grace Lutheran Church, please contact Jen Pearson-Gale at office@glcwen.org
You may also arrange a meeting with a specific staff person, but be sure to let Jen know when the meeting will be so she can be sure to reserve your time in the building.
Walk Around the Church Grounds
The Prayer Garden and Prayer Labyrinth are still open for use! So while you might miss the peace of the sanctuary, we would encourage you to take a meditative walk through the Prayer Labyrinth or spend some time reflecting in the garden.
Use or Donate to the Food Pantry
During the winter, the Little Free Pantry will be open from 11 am - 2 pm every weekday. You can drop off donations at any time, though!
Stay Connected!
It's hard to worship without gathering in our sanctuary, but things at Grace are still happening! We hope you will join us for our online worship every Sunday morning.
We invite you to tune into our 10@10 devotions on Wednesday and Friday mornings (via Facebook). Youth Group and Sunday School are live on each Sunday! Our Lectionary Study group meets online every Wednesday at 11 am!
And if you're looking for someone to talk with, Intern Bergen Eickhoff is always glad to schedule a phone call or a socially distanced meeting!
We cannot be church without you, so although we're still doing most of our ministry from a distance, we hope that you'll stay connected!
Should You Visit the Church?
Now that you can arrange meetings at Grace Lutheran, it's important to make sure that you are in good health before visiting the church! If you have any new or worsening symptoms on the CDC list, please do not come to church. And if you are ill, please do let us know so that we can pray for you.
