Grandview's Response
In-Person worship suspension starting November 16th
11.18.20
People of Grandview,
Sadly, I must report that we are again moving to virtual worship only for a time. In a letter from our Bishop sent late last week he recommended that all churches in counties who are in the "red" or severe stages of COVID-19 surges consider migrating away from in-person worship again until the trends are reversed. A copy of that letter is in the link below and I would encourage you to read it in full. As our Charge Conference met Sunday, we took the opportunity to go ahead and discuss the Bishop's request. Grandview decided that, indeed, it was most prudent to move to a remote format to protect our people as best as we can. I echo the Bishop's acknowledgement of this being an especially difficult time of year to have to make this decision. It is, however, my intention to create virtual worship experiences which will be as rich as possible. I would value any feedback on how to make the season rich for your family as you worship together at home.
As always, I am thankful for your faithfulness and care that you show one another and all people in this difficult time.
Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam (All for the greater Glory of God),
Pastor Charles
