<li><p style="margin-bottom:0in"><font size="4">Stewardship and
pledges – In these difficult times, we are making every effort to
continue serving our congregation and community. Additionally, we
are maintaining the buildings and grounds. Our operating expenses
have been kept very low during the crisis, but monthly expenses do
exist. We know that for some, it is impossible to maintain pledges
due to financial hardship. May God's blessings be with you and see
you through these difficult times. For those of you who have been
able to meet your pledges, we thank you for continuing to support
the church. If you can send in a pledge, the mail is picked up
regularly and donations are recorded and deposits made regularly.
You can also donate by going to our website <a href="http://graceucclancaster.org">graceucclancaster.org</a>
and clicking on Give and following the steps outlined. Direct link
is <a href="https://tithe.ly/give?c=27413">https://tithe.ly/give?c=27413</a>
Thanks for your continuing support.</font></p>
</li><li><p style="margin-bottom:0in"><font size="4">Masks – When we are
able to re-engage in the regular sanctuary service, we will be
asking participants to wear masks. We would like to be able to
supply masks for any who do not have one. Would you be willing to
make masks? Do you have masks you could donate? Do you know of a
supplier who could sell us masks? Contact Jack Patterson. Thanks</font></p>
</li><li><p style="margin-bottom:0in"><font size="4">Do you have
suggestions on ways to reach members of the congregation who are not
online? Let us know. Have you been reaching out to members and
friends? God bless you for maintaining contact with friends and our
church family.</font></p>
</li><li><p style="margin-bottom:0in"><font size="4">Do you have
suggestions on how to make the church a safer place when we are able
to return, ideas that go beyond the recommended protocols? Let us
know.</font></p>
</li><li><p style="margin-bottom:0in"><font size="4">Ordering gift cards –
I know not much shopping is going on, but our gift card fundraiser
may come in handy for people who are ordering online. I actually
did an online order and used one of our cards. In any case, an
order form is enclosed. Will pick up the orders at the May 10
service, and I will contact you on how you would like the cards to
be delivered after the 17<sup>th</sup>. All profits go to Maywood
Mission.</font></p>
