6/25: Mountain Sky (Re) Launch Videos 5 & 6

6/26/2020

 

Pastor's Message

WPUMC Members and Friends,

Bishop Karen and the Mountain Sky COVID-19 Crisis Team released a guidebook to our conference churches to help consider the best ways to approach ministries in the coming months with a focus on health, safety, and the care of all persons. Part of the guidebook includes some sessions that our WPUMC staff are working through intentionally - and WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!

This will be the LAST week of this process as I'm combining sessions 5 and 6. 
Please refer to last Thursday's email (click HERE) for WEEK 4 video and questions. Your thoughts and input are important to us, and we value each of you. Thanks for joining this conversation.


STEP ONE: Watch the videos from various Mountain Sky clergy and leaders below:
Session 5 Video:

(Re) Launch Church: Flight from Mountain Sky Conference | UMC on Vimeo.

Session 6 Video:

(Re) Launch Church: Conclusions from Mountain Sky Conference | UMC on Vimeo.

 STEP TWO: Think about these questions -
  • Let's talk about sustainability. What practices are unsustainable into the future? What needs to be sustained?
  • Let's talk about turbulence. What are the challenges you can foresee ahead?
STEP THREE: Email Rev. Sandi at pastor@washparkumc.org by Saturday with your responses. These responses will be shared with church leadership and may be anonymously shared with the congregation.
 
Thank you for taking some time to process with us as we find our way forward through this challenging time.

Peace and love,
Rev. Sandi

This Sunday: Drive-through communion and food drive
Join us on Sunday from 10:45-11:30 am, we will be offering "Drive-Through Communion" in our parking lot. Check out THIS Video for what to expect. 
Please approach the church on Arizona Ave from the east. Turn right into the parking lot and follow the signs to Station #1 - Food Drive drop off. Place your donations in the bin offered, and then proceed to Station #2 - Communion - for receiving individually wrapped communion elements and a blessing from Rev. Sandi. Be prepared for a right turn only out of the parking lot. Thanks for staying in your car. Please know all volunteers will be screened, masked, and gloved for the event.
Anti-Racism Study
Picture
As your pastoral leader, I am committing to reading the book White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism by Robin DiAngelo, and holding some open conversations with others via zoom at the end of July or in August. Will you commit to this with me? If you will, please email me "YES!" to pastor@washparkumc.org. This will let me know of your commitment to read, learn, and join with me later this summer for conversation. Feel free to send along other books or resources so that we can journey with one another. There is work to do, and we need each other to do it together.

Altar Flower Volunteers
We are seeking one altar flower volunteer for months with a 5th Sunday.  If you have questions or would like to help, please email Ali (alisongibsonus@comcast.net).
