One other note: Conference rules now
allow us to sing outside (with masks and
social distance) for a brief period of time.
We will be preparing to do so by the end
of March by gradually moving songs

The following two Sundays, March 14 and slightly different . I hope by Palm Sunday,
21, we will be open for in-person worship anyone who wishes to will be able to sing
for the 8:30 a.m. service. (Please outside with us!
remember to register online at http://
firstumcfoxhill.org/reopening/ or at the
narthex door.) Meanwhile, we will be
considering whether to expand to 8:30 and
11:00 a.m. beginning Palm Sunday (March
28), or whether we may look at a
combined type of service at an alternative
hour. Sunday School (or Monday school,
Bible studies, etc) can meet in the building
as long as groups are under 10 people.
Groups over 10 can meet outside, up to 25
people (per Governor Northam’s orders).
In addition, the nursery will be open
during worship and Sunday school hours
beginning March 7. Here’s a breakdown by
date:
Cary Forrest 3/7
Starting now: All classes and groups of 10
Audrey Rogers 3/8
or fewer people can meet in the building
(participants should fill out the online Karen Nolin 3/8
registration each week) as desired. The Hope Gulbronson 3/8
nursery will be open for worship and Gloria McGhee 3/8
Sunday School. Joel White 3/8
March 14 and 21: All are invited to worship Lynne Vaughan 3/9
