MAY 18, 2020

​Dear Neighborhood Church Family,
 
In light of the continued spread of the Coronavirus and our responsibility to both honor God and the state of Maryland, of which we are a part, we will continue to meet virtually as a church until further notice.
 
According to Governor Hogan’s website, as of May 15th Maryland entered Phase I of reopening. Although this is good news for the State, Montgomery County is not yet entering Phase I. According to the county's website, there needs to be a sustained 14 day decrease in regards to confirmed cases, hospitalizations, deaths, acute and ICU bed usage, and more before entering into phase I. 


What about the Sunday Service
When we are able and allowed to meet again, there will be many changes to how we gather to make sure and follow proper protocols with regards to safety, sanitation, and social distancing. We will continue to offer live streaming on Facebook and Youtube here.

What about Small groups? 
Although we will not be gathering in large groups, we still encourage you to meet virtually in small groups and contact people through social media, texting, phone calls, video, etc. throughout the week. Click here for current small groups.

What about Youth 
Youth continue to meet virtually on Sunday nights on facebook, youtube and zoom here. 

What about Children
We continue to offer resources for parents to disciple their children at home through our weekly newsletter and are also incorporating more kid friendly moments into our Sunday Service.

What about the Farmers Market
The Farmers Market opened for the season on May 16th. We are following proper protocols and believing God can use this to share and show Jesus in our neighborhood. Click here to volunteer or here for more information. 

What about the coming weeks?
Since this is a fluid situation, we will keep you up to date as we know more information and make decisions in the best interest of the public and church. We will continue to do as many things as possible online and when allowed to meet physically. Please make sure to check the website for any updates and subscribe to the newsletter. 
 
Please know you are being prayed for and if there is any way we can assist you or someone you know, please just ask. 

Pastor Mark
