[Grace UCC News] Special requests from Grace

[Jack Patterson]

This is also in the newsletter

Special Requests:

   1.

   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
   graceucclancaster.org and clicking on Give and following the steps
   outlined. Direct link is https://tithe.ly/give?c=27413 Thanks for your
   continuing support.
   2.

   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
   3.

   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.
   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.
   5.

   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 17th. All profits go to Maywood Mission.
