Beginning June 20 (Father's Day), morning worship at Peoples will be held at 10am YEAR-ROUND. For many years worship has been held at different times for summer and school-year. The recent congregation survey compiled by the Worship Committee revealed that the majority would prefer to worship at 10am year round. Church Council voted unanimously at their May meeting to make this change beginning June 20.
There are many advantages to this change. A consistent worship time will be easier to publicize and communicate. In addition, during the school-year, coffee fellowship will be able to be hosted after worship rather than before, allowing choir members to attend and providing an opportunity for all of us to connect with our guests who have attended worship. And parents will be able to pick up their children from Sunday School and continue fellowship together with the congregation. This also allows the flexibility to add adult Sunday School classes not only before but also after worship.
If 10am is too late for your summer preference, feel free to worship with us on the beach at 8am. Every Sunday through August, beginning June 27 with Blessing of the Pets, we will hold an informal time of worship at Willard Beach, near the snack shack and playground area.
Any change will take some getting used to, and there are bound to be some things no one has foreseen. But together, and with the grace of Christ, we can work out any issues as they arise. If you have any questions or suggestions feel free to contact Debbie Cole or any member of the Worship Committee.
