MAKING A PLAN FOR FUTURE RE-OPENING OF PUMC
*It’s very important to note that there are NO plans for re-opening our church building right now.
A major topic at the May Ad Council meeting was the need to form a committee to begin planning for the eventual re-opening of our church. The issues surrounding re-opening the church for worship and meetings will need to be reviewed. The building will need to be secure and clean, with the safeguards put in place for continual monitoring of surfaces and equipment. The public health rules concerning re-opening during the pandemic will need to be researched and referenced, as the church makes its plans. It’s very important to note that there are NO plans for re-opening our church right now. It is important to note that there is much research and planning to be done before any definite date for re-opening is decided upon.
To that end, a group of Ad Council members have stepped up to start the process. If you would also like to sit on this committee, please contact Rev. Card, Bruce Batten, Ken Constantine, or Susan Lindquist. There is room on this committee for many ideas and help, as our church slowly returns to worship, study, and mission work.
As soon as the full committee is formed, the first meeting will be scheduled. Of course, during this crazy COVID-19 time, it will be done via ZOOM. Stay tuned!
Current members include: Rev. Kathleene Card, Hiel Lindquist (Ad Council Chair), Bruce Batten (Trustees), Ken Constantine (SPRC), Laura Constantine and Richard Clason (Finance), Jim Poplin (Lay Leader) and Susan Lindquist (Worship)

PUMC BOOK GROUP
The church book group will meet via ZOOM on Tuesday, May 26th at 1 PM. Group members can look for the ZOOM invite on Monday afternoon. If you have read this month’s novel, A Well Behaved Woman by Therese Anne Fowler and would like to join the group this month, send an email to Susan Lindquist. Susan will get you into the loop with ZOOM. All are welcome to join this book discussion!
A plea to book group members – try to look around for a title for the next month’s read. If you can, prep a quick book talk abut your recommendation. It’s nice to get recommendations from different folks and change up the genres now and then! Thanks!
