City of God Family,

I hope you have a great 4^th of July weekend. I wanted to send you a couple of reminders and updates as Sunday draws closer.

First, we have a short member’s meeting scheduled for immediately after the service on Sunday. If you are unable to attend, we will e-mail members a link to the video of that meeting on Sunday afternoon.

Second, we apologize for the ongoing issues with the live stream. After spending several hours with technical support from Lafayette Christian this week, we believe we have the problem solved. However, if we have another issue this Sunday, we want to ensure that those of you who can’t gather with us will still be able to worship with your COG family.

• Sunday at 10 AM, there will be a service broadcast on COG’s Facebook page. This will either be the live stream of our Sunday morning service, or it will be a past sermon from Pastor Eric with a home worship guide attached. We will also record the full service from this Sunday, and we will start posting services on Sunday morning from the previous week if the stream continues to fail. We recognize this isn’t ideal, and we truly believe the technical issues have been solved. However, we want to ensure you’re able to stay connected to the body here, and this will allow you to keep as current as possible with services at City of God. Long story short, beginning this Sunday, there will be some worship option for you on our Facebook Page at 10 AM.
• For those of you joining us in person, continue to register each week at this link. This helps us ensure we have adequately planned for those who will be in attendance, and it will be critical as we start making decisions regarding future children’s ministry offerings.
• Also, we continue to encourage those of you attending in person to wear a face mask, especially during the singing portion of the service.

Third, we recognize that many of you might feel disconnected from the church as we figure out what things will look like heading into the fall. Our pastors and staff are here for you if you have questions, prayer requests, or are interested in finding ways to get connected beyond Sunday morning. This is a unique time that presents challenges to our community, but it is also an opportunity to trust God. God has something for us in the midst of these things, and I’m excited to see how he grows and stretches us as a body in the coming weeks.

We love all of you, and we look forward to serving you for years to come.

Pastor Eric

City of God Family,

We are so excited to have the opportunity to worship with some of you in person this Sunday. As you prepare for this weekend, we wanted to give you a few details on what you can expect as we return to Lafayette Christian School. Sunday will be a regular service with worship and a sermon.

If you plan to join us on Sunday and you have not registered yet, please do so here.

There will be people who either cannot or should not gather with us based on health risks. We will attempt to live stream the service on Facebook at 10 AM. This will be our first attempt at live streaming, so bear with us. At least the sermon will be posted to the internet by Sunday night if the stream does not work.

Please note, due to construction, several of the roads used to access Lafayette Christian are currently unavailable. We recommend using Union or Earl to get to the school. 

1. If you have recently been in contact with someone who is ill or you are exhibiting any symptoms, please refrain from joining us at LCS. You will be able to watch the live stream via Facebook.
   
   
2. Individuals in high-risk categories should consider worshiping with us via live stream.
   
   
3. There will be no children’s ministry available at the school for at least the next four weeks. A nursing mother’s room will be available for those who need it. Please see a hospitality team member for details.
   
   
4. We will not be serving any coffee on Sunday morning, but you are welcome to bring your own.
   
   
5. If you have not yet registered to attend in-person worship this weekend, please do so here.
   
   
6. While the state of Indiana does not currently require face masks, they are recommended for social gatherings. We will have a limited number of masks available for those who would like one but don’t have one.
   
   
7. As you enter, a greeter will give you instructions regarding seating. You are welcome to sit with anyone that you have been quarantining with over the past few months. However, please leave three to four chairs in-between you and other worshipers not from your family. We want to continue to practice recommended social distancing guidelines as we meet back together.
   
   
8. During the service, we will modify how we take communion and offering. Communion will be available in individually wrapped packages, and you will be able to take as many as you need once you arrive. A basket will be placed next to the entrances of the gym for those who would like to leave an offering. You can also give digitally at cogchurch.org/give.
   
   
9. We will ask all congregants to exit the gym immediately following the service. If you would like to connect with others while practicing social distancing, you can do so outside.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out. See you Sunday!
