PEACE LUTHERAN CHURCH – DESHLER, NEBRASKA
ACTION-PLAN, RESPONSES AND RESOURCES REGARDING THE COVID-19 VIRUS PANDEMIC
1. All daily and weekly church activities are canceled until further notice.
2. Until the “group quarantine” is lifted we will live stream all worship services via Facebook Live through our Peace Lutheran Connections Facebook Group. To join the group you must have a Facebook account. Go to “Groups” and then do a search for “Peace Lutheran Connections.” Simply hit the link to join the group and you will be accepted.
Lenten Services will be streamed on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. and our Sunday morning service will stream at 10:00 a.m. (We encourage you to sign on by 9:45 to ensure you are connected and to have a time of online fellowship.) If need be we will stream the services for Holy Week as well. As always, the services will be available via DVD. (Extra copies of the services are being made for you to check out from the church office.)
3. Copies of the sermon manuscript and service will be available online as well as in hard copy form on a table in the church narthex. Additional resource materials and hymnals for use in conducting your own home worship and devotional time are available as well. Online resources can be found on our website (peacedeshler.info) as well as within the Peace Lutheran Connections Facebook Group. (See #2 above on how to join the group.) Please check the website and the Facebook group often as we will be adding and updating information as needed. And then pass the word to others.
4. The main church doors will be open during regular office hours and into the evening until 8:00 p.m. for anyone who would like to come and spend some time in the Sanctuary for individual meditation and devotional time. This is YOUR church!
5. Weekly offerings may be mailed to the church office, or dropped off at the church during regular office hours. Offerings will be secured with our Financial Institution. You are encouraged to consider utilizing an auto-deposit option for giving. Please contact the church office or Becky Mize if you have questions on how to take advantage of this option.
6. We have developed a “All-Church” email list so we can more easily communicate with all of the members of our church family at Peace, not just during this crisis but for future events as well. If you have not done so yet, please consider providing your email address to Marla in the church office. (Emails will be kept private and used only for sharing church event information. The easiest way would be to send it to the church’s email address: peaceoffice.deshler@gmail.com.
7. If you need pastoral care during this time, please contact Pastor Love on his cell phone or at his church email: revlove.peace@gmail.com. Individual meetings and care will always be allowed and made a priority including receiving Holy Communion privately.
If you have questions, please call Pastor Love or Chairman Bill Mize.
Please pray for our world, our nation and our congregation during this time of uncertainty, knowing that God’s will and plan for us in Christ is good and gracious!
