Join us Sunday Mornings

10:30 AM 
Morning Worship & Children’s Sunday School

4449 Main Street, Gasport, NY 14067

COVID-19 UPDATE 3.18.20

After discussion with your church Moderator and Co-Chair of our trustees, and in light of President Trump’s recommendation of meetings limited to ten people or less, we are closing Covenant for the near future. We hope – and its only a hope right now – that we will be back up and running by Easter Sunday.

This means . . .

• No worship services
• No on-site funerals
• No Scout meetings
• No Youth Group meetings
• No committee or fellowship meetings
• No Jubilee, no Nursery school (these are determined by public school schedule)
• No Bereavement dinners
• No on-site fund-raising events (The Rummage Sale and the Scout’s Spaghetti
• Dinner have been postponed)
• Hourly/per event staff members will not be working on site – Katie may do some paperwork at home as directed by Pastor John
• Hospital and nursing home visitation by the pastor has discontinued due to hospital and state directives

 

Our decision for reopening the church will depend upon State/National guidelines and the opinion of our Moderator, Trustee Co-chairs and the Pastor. In the meanwhile, public areas of the church will receive an in-depth cleaning and sanitizing.

What can you do?

• Pray for your community and your nation. We’ve included some prayer helps.
• If you are experiencing a fever or flu like symptoms, stay home.
• Do not horde food or dry goods beyond your own needs thereby disadvantaging other people.
• Order take-out from your local restaurant.
• Mail your weekly offering to the church (our bills still continue) or bring your cumulative envelopes when we resume worship again.
• Be aware of others who may be struggling and alert your pastor.
• If you’re self-isolating, or experiencing significant anxiety, talking on the phone to someone is infinitely more reassuring then a text message. Pastor John can be reached at 716-778-4255.Rev. John Tipton
