Meeting Outside

Hi Shoreline family and friends,

I love you and am praying for you.  I assume by now you are all aware of the new order prohibiting indoor gatherings that includes church services.  We have made the decision to move our worship service outdoors.  Please note our worship service time is moving to 9:30 a.m. instead of 10:30 a.m. in order to beat some of the heat.  We will be meeting on the back of our church property in order to minimize the sound from Ellis Avenue traffic as well as the distraction.  We will continue to livestream our service for those who are unable to attend due to risk factors (at 9:30 a.m.).  We also will continue to follow the mitigation efforts we have been following (social distancing, cloth coverings, hand sanitizer, etc.).

I know all the changes brought on by this pandemic are difficult for all of us.  We do not know how long these changes will be in place, but we are seeking to prioritize in every way we can the importance of gathering to worship our amazing God during this pandemic.  If you would like to help with set up Sunday morning, please meet at the church at 8:00 a.m.  All of this will take some work, but the worship of God is worth every effort we make and more.  God will be glorified as our community and those we know see the lengths we are willing to go to in order to worship the Lord.  Please pray that God will be glorified and for Him to give us His love and grace in the weeks ahead.
​
We want to make this as good of an experience as possible.  We will have chairs available, but feel free to bring your own lawn chairs if you desire.  We cannot provide communal drinks and food due to safety issues, but we encourage people to bring water or drinks for your family.  We have some natural shade from the building and trees and some E-Z Ups for shade, but feel free to bring your own shade (we just ask that you not block anyone’s view).  I look forward to worshiping the Lord with you this Sunday.  

With Love,

Pastor Matt
