Message from Pastor Mori Dear Ravenswood Fellowship UMC family
Welcome back to church!
That statement might seem a bit odd because, as you know, we have had church every week through Zoom or in our Japanese Garden, yet there is just something powerful and amazing about meeting together as the church! Especially when it's been many months since we have been able to meet together in our sanctuary!
I encourage you to be a person full of grace as we gather again. There are many different beliefs about the "way things should be," but at this time we should focus on returning safely to church.
For the sake of our health and happy return we will maintain social distance and wear masks during our worship. Congregational prayer and singing are allowed if you wear a mask. We will not hand out the offering plate and instead the plate will be located near the front door.
I think during the summer we should be very careful to protect each other because of the danger from various variants of virus. We have many vulnerable members of our congregation.
We will do our absolute best to make sure we are in a safe, yet welcoming environment both for people and the presence of God! Thank you for giving your leadership an extra dose of grace during this time as well.
We are excited to have you back!
So, again, welcome back to church!
Blessings in Christ,
Pastor Mori
