Council Decision about Continuing Sunday Worship (March 15, 2020)


Genesee Lutheran Parish Council (GLP) met March 15 for the regular Council meeting.  The Council discussed the handling of worship services, considering the current news about COVID-19 (Novel Coronavirus):

GLP will follow the decisions of Genesee Joint School District 282 (https://www.sd282.org/), the local health officials, and Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in determining the closure of the church—at this time, because school is in session, Worship is in session!

·         GLP will continue Sunday worship services.
·         We will not distribute communion during worship.
·         We will not Pass the Peace during worship.
·         We will place the offering plate at the entrance to the narthex.  If you cannot attend, you may mail your offering to:  Genesee Lutheran Parish, P.O. Box 125, Genesee, Idaho.  Please mark OFFERING on the envelope so that only the Council Treasurer will see it.
·         We will not have food at Fellowship at this time.
·         We will have Lent services on Thursday nights at 7 p.m. at St. John’s, but we will NOT have Soup Supper at 6:30.

Pastor Peg said that Grace Lutheran is arranging to stream their Sunday Worship online for those of us who cannot attend.

If you have any concerns or questions, please feel free to contact us at 208-285-1719 (parish cell phone) or email at Parish@geneseelutheranparish.org.
