Dear Friends –

I have been away for a few days taking some vacation time. It was good to spend some time with my husband and one of our granddaughters. We had fun together! I hope that you are finding opportunities to have fun with family!

Now that I am back at my laptop, I want to share some information regarding an upcoming change in our worship schedule. Beginning this Sunday, July 5, we will offer two online worship services – a contemporary service at 9:30 and a traditional service at 11:00. Please make note of this change.

As we continue in this journey, I also want you to be aware of the next step in our phased re-opening. We hope to begin to offer in-person worship starting on Sunday, August 2. (However, the Re-Opening Team will continue to monitor the situation as we move forward. So, please know that this remains a tentative date which depends upon what is happening with the coronavirus cases in Pennsylvania and in Chester and surrounding counties at that time.)

Due to the guidelines which limit the number of people permitted to gather at an indoor space (in green you can have up to 50% capacity), you will need to sign up in order to reserve a seat for each member of your family, and let us know whether you will attend the 9:30 Contemporary Worship service or the 11:00 Traditional Worship service. (Watch for more details about this later.)

In the meantime, beginning this Sunday, July 5, the Praise Team and the worship leaders for both services will gather at the church to lead two worship experiences that we hope you will experience with us online. The worship leaders will live-stream a contemporary worship service from the Family Life Center at 9:30 a.m. and a traditional service from the Sanctuary at 11:00 a.m. 

Again, please make note that you can worship with us ONLINE this Sunday, July 5, for: > Contemporary worship service live-streamed at 9:30 a.m. > Traditional worship service live-streamed at 11:00 a.m.
Go to our cedarvilleumc.org website and click on the red button immediately beneath our “Welcome to Cedarville United Methodist Church” block. Clicking it on Sunday morning will take you to our YouTube channel where you will be able to join either the 9:30 or 11 service. You will see the picture of the church as you wait for the “countdown” at 9:25 or the “preparing for worship” at 10:55. 

I hope you will join us this Sunday morning online for either our contemporary service or our traditional service – each offered live from the church!!

Blessings!
Pastor Sherry
