A Note From the Church Office, June 26th
Dear Salford Family,
This week we are reminded of the strength and vitality of this active community. In so many ways this congregation continues to be church and do church together, even as we haven’t gathered in-person for over three months now. We may not look like the body of Christ gathered as we are used to seeing it, but the body clearly continues on. Here are a few snapshots.
Today our region enters the green phase of PA’s reopening plan, and the question of our gathering in-person remains. At the same time, with case numbers spiking in some parts of the country and much still unknown about the coronavirus, decisions around gathering continue to be difficult. This week the reopening task force explored possibilities for safe in-person worship. The first full week of July we hope to have an opportunity for you to tell us your interest and comfort for in-person worship as we seek to find safe and meaningful ways to fellowship together. In the meantime, we continue to receive strong affirmation for our current modes of worship.
As we seek to follow Jesus together, we have been finding we need greater understanding of our body’s convictions around LGBTQ+ welcome at Salford. To this end a survey was sent to the congregation. This survey is not a decision-making tool, but it does help us know more about how the body views LGBTQ+ welcome in the church. So far many of you have responded to the survey, and we are so thankful for the thoughtful engagement that has taken place. The survey will remain open until July 1st; more information in the newsletter.
And there is also much momentum and movement within the congregation around racial justice. The Holy Spirit is moving, calling us to hear voices of the vulnerable in new ways and seek healing for our world. This is taking a few different shapes within Salford, and you can see more about those in the newsletter as well. All who desire are welcome to join in this reconciling work.
And so, we are the church: many members, one body, one Spirit, one Lord. The signs of life in us are glimpses of Jesus himself. May you in turn be encouraged in the part you have to play in it.
