Thank you for the time you took to respond to this questionnaire. We appreciate hearing from each of you.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The percent ready to return to church (with safety precautions in place and followed) is almost exactly the same now as in June (within one half of one percentage point). The percentage not ready to return has doubled since June and the undecided persons have decreased. The elders and pastor realize that all of us want to attend church in person again. We also realize that a number of logistical issues need to be resolved before we can meet at the church and are working to determine if that is possible. We are weighing what we will gain by meeting in person with what we will risk since case numbers continue to rise.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">We appreciate your continued patience as <o:p></o:p></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">we work at these issues.

Please keep the elders and this continued process in your prayers.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">- </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The elders: Mary Lou, Gay, Karen and Nick</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></p><p style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">▪ </span></b><b><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Memorial Portraits Wanted for All-Saints Sunday, November 1 –</span></b><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> In this upcoming special worship service we will remember those from our congregation or families who have died, both in the past year and in the further past.

To offset these losses we received many donations and had a breakfast casserole bake sale. We have seen the generosity of many and we are grateful. Even after these fundraisers, the camp still feels the impact from the loss of funds. <b>We are very excited to announce for the first time, the camp will be hosting an online auction.</b> Do you have something you would be interested in donating?

To offset these losses we received many donations and had a breakfast casserole bake sale. We have seen the generosity of many and we are grateful. Even after these fundraisers, the camp still feels the impact from the loss of funds. <b>We are very excited to announce for the first time, the camp will be hosting an online auction.</b> Do you have something you would be interested in donating? We would be thrilled to receive it! The auction will go live in December in a virtual event.

We will plan to meet at Sunset Picnic Shelter by the pond on Sun., Sept. 27 for an outdoor worship service at 10 a.m., with a focus on paying attention to wonders in God’s Creation. A catered pizza lunch will follow. Please bring your lawn chairs for physically-distant seating, face masks, your own beverage and table service for the noon meal. We will be taking three offerings that Sunday: our regular church offering, an offering for the use of camp and an offering for the meal. There will be separate baskets for each or you may write one check with designations noted. We are looking forward to meeting in person!! (Pray for nice weather.)

Even after these fundraisers, the camp still feels the impact from the loss of funds. <b>We are very excited to announce for the first time, the camp will be hosting an online auction.</b> Do you have something you would be interested in donating?

We will plan to meet at Sunset Picnic Shelter by the pond on Sun., Sept. 27 for an outdoor worship service at 10 a.m., with a focus on paying attention to wonders in God’s Creation. A catered pizza lunch will follow. Please bring your lawn chairs for physically-distant seating, face masks, your own beverage and table service for the noon meal. We will be taking three offerings that Sunday: our regular church offering, an offering for the use of camp and an offering for the meal. There will be separate baskets for each or you may write one check with designations noted. We are looking forward to meeting in person!! (Pray for nice weather.) If you have questions, please contact one of the elders.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><b style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">▪ </span></b><b style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Wednesday Night 6:30pm Zooms – </span></b><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify;">This Fall you’re invited to take part (<i>online only</i>) in weekly Wednesday evening gatherings for faith nurture and discussion, starting 6:30pm Wednesday, September 23.

We have seen the generosity </span><span style="background: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">of many and we are grateful. Even after these fundraisers, the camp still feels the impact from the loss of funds. <b>We are very excited to announce for the first time, the camp will be hosting an online auction.</b> Do you have something you would be interested in donating?
