New Youth Group Meets Sundays 12-2pm

On Sundays from 12-2pm, our new tween youth group meets at LUMC for a meal, fellowship, Bible study, and community service projects. We’ll be using The Action Bible’s curriculum and VBS materials. Tweens, grades 6th through 8th, both in our church and throughout our community, are welcome to participate. Contact the church Office at 419-994-4939 for more info or to register. Please tell your friends!
Free Community Meal--To Go!
​
​Our next community meal will be Monday, August 17th from 5 until 6:30pm. 

Meals will be packaged at the time of pick-up. Simply drive up to the church, tell the runner how many people you're feeding, and a family-sized meal will be brought to your waiting vehicle! Meals are free, but donations are gladly accepted.

We observe the guidelines from the US Dept. of Agriculture, which include taking meals to those who come for them in their cars. Persons will be asked not to leave their cars so that they will not have the opportunity to violate the social distancing we are trying to maintain. We will keep the number of volunteers to a minimum, in order to further maintain as much social distancing as possible.
In-Person Worship Update

July 13, 2020
Dear Church Family:
  • There is both anticipation and anxiety regarding being able to gather together for worship again. These policies are meant to give people a sense of confidence that they can return to worship safely while at the same time doing our best to provide a meaningful worship service.
  • It can be easy to not think about such rules, especially when we are excited to see people again. However, the best way we can love and care for each other right now is to follow these expectations.
We are going to begin getting back together for worship--outside--on July 19 at 10:30 a.m.
  • We will have a speaker system for Pastor Kenn.
  • An electronic keyboard has been provided for Angela to play.
  • Please bring your own chair, tent, and/or umbrella if you are comfortable joining us.
  • We will have a couple of tape measures, if you want to be sure you are 6 feet away from your neighbors.
  • PLEASE WEAR YOUR MASK for the entire service as well as for arrival and departure from the park.
  • Respect the 6-foot distance from each other.
  • Please do not hug or shake hands with each other.
  • If you want to listen to the service from your car, we will pray that our sound system is loud enough for you to hear Pastor Kenn and the music.
  • The Education Wing doors will be unlocked and clipped open, if you have the need to use the bathrooms. We ask that you wash your hands and use the hand-sanitizer.
  • The service will also be live-streamed, so if you can’t be there, you can be with us in spirit, or watch it any time after the service.
General Expectations:
  • Please take your temperature before you arrive. If it is above 100.0, please stay home. We want you and everyone to stay in the best of health.
  • Offering plates will not be passed. We will have a collection box at the corner of the stage to place your offering.
  • There will be no singing. I can’t tell you how much I miss singing. I must have patience!
  • Pastor Kenn will not wear a mask when speaking but will speak from the stage, and the first seats will need to be 25 feet from the stage.
It is our thought at this time, that we will hold worship outside for the last two Sundays of July, and then the task force will evaluate how things have gone as well as look at when we can return to the sanctuary. Please know that we are doing our best to take care of everyone’s concerns.

​If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with one of the task force team.
