RETURNING TO CHURCH – NO LIVE/IN-PERSON WORSHIP YET, BUT WE ARE GETTING CLOSER!
The Church Council is continuing to discuss our returning to church in person. We’ll consider the Governor’s Orders and Suggestions, review with other local churches, and pastors, and medical professionals, and then we’ll look at going back when it is safe to do so.
As a part of our re-opening, we are enacting ACTS:
Advent Coronavirus Team of Safety!
We are looking for some Advent members and friends to join a task force to develop a detailed re-opening plan for Advent. The team should be cross-generational, so we get a variety of inputs. We are also looking for some on the committee to have expertise in the following areas: medical, hygiene, IT, etc. No travel necessary as the meetings will be Zoom type and this will be a short term commitment to develop the opening plan, and early stages of re-opening. If you are interested, contact Pastor scott_lohman@sbcglobal.net or Dave Neely dave.neely@hotmail.com.
Virtual Worship Services – We continue with our Virtual Worship Services online. An email will go out Sunday with our Worship Service. You may also check our YouTube Channel: Advent Lutheran Church Chapel Hill or take a look at the Website: www.AdventLutheranCH.org.
Join us this Wednesday “VIRTUALLY!” for our Bible Class – Join us Wednesdays at 1 p.m. as we look at the Book of Job, and reflect on how God works even when things don’t seem to be going that well.

Helping Those in Need During CoVid-19 – We continue to reach out during this time and we have checked with PORCH (People Offering Relief for Chapel Hill-Carrboro Homes). The best way to work with them as we are in this pandemic, is to go directly to their website: www.chapelhill.porchcommunities.org Then, click on the floating banner in red, which says Click here for how to help during COVID-19 crisis. They accept financial donations, they then safely provide to those who are in need of help. For non-perishable food donations, they are referring people to places we have worked with before, such as: Inter-faith Council For Social Services http://www.ifcweb.org and Orange Congregations In Mission www.ocimnc.org. Thanks for continued to care for our community!
Additionally, the Town of Chapel Hill has provided a document for information on food provision in the area. If you would need a Spanish or Mandarin version of this document to forward, please reply to this email. Also, the Town has a Resources for Muslims during Ramadan document, if you need that forwarded. Here is the Town’s food provision document: file:///C:/Users/Pastor%20Scott%20Lohman/Downloads/ENGLISH%20COVID-19%20Food%20Distribution%20Flyer%20(1).pdf
