Dear Neighborhood Church Family,
 
We are now at the end of June or the beginning of July, depending on how you would like to view it.  

We are continuing in Phase 2 of reopening in Montgomery County.  Phase 2 allows for in person gatherings both inside and outside of the building with restrictions. Some of these restrictions are very limiting.
 
The hope is that Phase 3 will come soon but with rising cases of COVID-19 across the nation, it seems like Phase 3 will take a bit longer to arrive. We continue to prayerfully evaluate when it is feasible to have in person gatherings and will let you know as we move closer.
 
With this in mind, we will continue to meet virtually and will keep you informed as we know more.
 
P.S. I would like to invite you to an outdoor picnic this Sunday July 5th. 

Grace and Peace.
 
Pastor Mark
 

 Dear Neighborhood Church Family,
 
Another Week has gone by and another week hopefully towards reopening.
 
AS of Friday, we are now in Phase 2 of reopening in Montgomery County.  Phase 2 allows for in person gatherings both inside and outside of the building with restrictions. The restrictions for inside the building are too limiting for what we are able to accommodate, so we are planning on a having a picnic outside on July 5th.  We are still hoping to resume in person public gatherings but will need to wait till Phase 3, which will hopefully be in Mid-July.
 
With this in mind, we will continue to meet virtually and will keep you informed as we know more.
 
Grace and Peace.

 Dear Neighborhood Church Family,
 
Thank you for your continued support and participation as we work towards reopening the church building and beginning gatherings.  
 
We are now in Phase 1 of reopening in Montgomery County.  Phase 1 does not permit gatherings of over 10 people but does allow drive up/drive through services with no contact.
 
This past week, you received a survey (which is right below this post) in regards to reopening. I would appreciate if you would take the time to fill it out, so that we can make decisions based on both your anticipated participations and government guidelines with physically gathering.
 
With this in mind, we will continue to meet virtually and will keep you informed as we know more.
 
Grace and Peace.
 
Pastor Mark

As ministry leaders are having discussions as to how and when Neighborhood Church will reopen, we'd love to get your input.  Please click below to complete a COVID-19 Safety Survey. 

 Dear Neighborhood Church Family,
 
Above and beyond what is happening with COVID-19. The nations is now reeling from injustice, racism, looting and more. My heart breaks and goes out to our African American brothers and sisters who have experienced ongoing injustice. As our church continues to embrace the beauty of being a multi-ethnic congregation, I hope we can model in a simple way how the Gospel of Jesus Christ both unites and reconciles people of all ages, ethnicities, and both men and women.
 
With regards to COVID-19, on June 1, Montgomery County Entered Phase 1 of Reopening.  This is good news and we celebrate this. As a part of Phase 1, not much has changed in the state and county. Guidelines continue to restrict church gathering to 10 people or less. There is also the ability to have drive in services with no contact, which in some way defeats the purpose.
 
In light of this, we will continue to meet virtually through Phase 1 and then reevaluate when we know what is allowed in Phase 2.
 
May you know Jesus and his encouragement during this time and if there is any way the church can help, let us know. 
 
Grace and Peace

Pastor Mark
