First United Methodist Church - Henderson, NC

Our Reopening Committee met this week to evaluate our current Covid protocols in light of the recent rise in infections. After much discussion, the committee decided to leave our current protocols in place:

*Masks are required
*Seating in alternate pews, with worshipers distanced
*Temperature checks and names recorded for tracing, in case of an outbreak
*Congregation is asked to wait for ushers to dismiss rows after the service and not to congregate inside the building

The committee will continue to meet monthly to discuss current conditions and recommendations, and to make adjustments as needed.

Pastor George is offering a Bible study on Wednesdays from 12 noon until 1:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall. The class begins January 19, and will meet weekly for seventeen weeks (with the exception of January 26, February 9, and May 4).

The study is Dr. James "Mickey" Efird's The Book of Revelation. To quote Dr. Efird, "In this study we will learn about the mindset, thought process, theological and historical background of the people for whom this writing was made." Each session will begin with a 20-30 minute recording of Dr. Efird lecturing on 2-3 chapters of Revelation, followed by discussion of points he raises and questions you would like to raise from your reading.
 

The Fellowship Sunday School class will begin meeting again starting on the first Sunday in January. We would like to extend an invitation to all church members of any age to come and join us. We welcome and enjoy open discussion. We have three teachers: Bob Fleming, Tem Blackburn, and Joe Callahan. Each has an unique style and all enjoy hearing your input during a lesson. Come and join us!
