PARIS PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH ANNOUNCEMENTS

5-10-2020

Happy Mother’s Day and Celebrate Women!

     Following the regulations issued by the state of Illinois, all worship services and other activities at the church are cancelled through May 30.

        Our weekly worship services consisting of Call to Worship, Scripture readings, sermon, and prayer are videos on the church Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/199348923523091/ It is an open page, so anyone with internet can visit, not just those with their own Facebook accounts.

           During this time of Stay at Home regulations, our Treasurer is able to pick up the mail at the church a couple times a week.  We ask that those of you who are in a position to keep up with your intended giving please consider doing so, by mailing your contribution to the church (241 W. Court St., Paris).

           Our presbytery is offering a Zoom discussion on “Returning to Public Worship” for anyone interested, on Thursday May 14 at 1:00:   How do we prepare for a return to in-person worship?  How do we keep worship participants safe?  What if someone comes without a face covering?  And other related questions.  Please contact Rev. Rodger, using his church email, if you would like to participate, and he will send you the link.  There is also a printed resource from our denomination which will be attached to the email he would forward to you, if you would prefer to read about the relevant issues.
