What: Worship When: Sunday, June 27 at 10:00 am Where: First Congregational Church's south parking lot and in the Bigger Balcony (online)!
What to Bring
a chair or blanket to sit on (a few chairs will be available for those who need; bring an extra chair for a neighbor, if you’re able)
an umbrella, hat, or other protection from sun/rain
a water bottle (for your comfort)
a blessing/prayer for Sharry Nyberg on a small piece of paper
Parking
we encourage walking, biking, and public transit as you’re able
there are a few spots in the north (accessible) parking lot and near the church office for those who cannot walk distance
all others, please park in the lot near Whatcom Middle School or on the side streets (see attached map)
Please Note
check in at a welcome table when you arrive (get a name tag, a bulletin, and sign in)
masks must be worn in care of one another
check in with and respect one another’s requests for physical distance; we ask all not to hug at this time
the church building will not be open
lower level restroom is available for 1 household at a time (only as necessary)
it may be difficult for some to hear in person, depending on where you stand in the parking lot
we will live stream on Facebook (the Bigger Balcony) as has been typical this past year
it will be very HOT in the parking lot—in addition to sun protection and water, you may consider worshiping in the Bigger Balcony if that’s more comfortable for you
Remember this is an experiment! We are trying things out and seeing what works and what doesn’t, including technology. We are people of God, and we pray grace for one another as we figure out next steps in holding in-person worship. July 4 worship will be online only (we have a baptism!), and we hope to be back hybrid (in person and online) on July 11.
