COVID 19 Update

Sunday Morning In-house Worship Service

Praise God we have resumed in-person worship at Good Shepherd at 10 AM.  The Zoom broadcasts continue. We invite you join us in-person or on Zoom. 

 

In order to adhere to safety recommendations as we worship together, we have implemented the following:

  • One service at 10 AM each Sunday (until the elders can assess attendance and we gain experience with safety issues).

  • The service is held in the Sanctuary with groups of chairs spaced in groups for safety.

  • The greetings and sharing of the peace will be from a social distance and limited.

  • The wearing of a mask is recommended by the state, although be aware that not everyone will wear a face mask.

  • There will be no fellowship refreshments served.

  • We will forego the children’s message.

  • If you do not feel comfortable attending or are a person considered at risk of the virus, please remain at home and take advantage of the Zoom presentation of the service described below. Please email the church secretary at secretary@gslcky.org if you do not receive the zoom meeting invitations.

 

Communion

  • Communion has resumed with individual cups only (no common cup).

  • If you cannot come by the church and need the elements delivered to you, please call the church and let us know.

 

Alternative Zoom Service

  • The services will continue to be available via Zoom for those wishing to participate.

  • A link will be sent to all members each week.

 

Adult Bible Study via Zoom

  • Due to timing issues of Zooming the Bible Study and getting ready for an in-person service, the Sunday morning Bible Study is temporarily suspended.

 

 

We are excited to gather as a community, and we look forward to expanding the opportunities to worship together.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me.

Head Elder

Update on COVID-19

Due to the impact of the Corona virus and the government’s desire to protect our country’s health by restricting groups of 10 or more from meeting we believe it is in the best interest of our members and visitors to suspend church operations until Easter as follows:

  • Unless the government imposed Corona virus restrictions ease sooner, church services will be suspended immediately as of Wednesday, March 18, through Good Friday with the first anticipated resumption of services being on Easter Sunday.  However the church will remain open on Sunday mornings during normal worship times for prayer and meditation.

  • Sunday School for all ages will be postponed until further notice.

This was an extremely difficult decision to make as we are concerned with the spiritual as well as physical well-being of our members.  It is important for us to remain connected with one another and our Lord.  During this time we ask that you: 

  • From your homes, join us in prayer and scripture reading at 10:00 am each Sunday so that we remain worshipping together as a church family albeit each from our respective homes.

  • Reach out frequently via phone, email or text to your fellow Good Shepherd members.  We do not want anyone to feel disconnected or isolated during this time.

  • Take the time to read scripture to your children. 

We pray that the Lord our God will bless you, protect you, and keep you healthy both in body and spirit during this unusual time.   

Please reach out to any one of the elders if you have concerns or need any assistance.
