Because of the rapid spread of COVID-19, all in person meetings for presbytery groups or ministry teams are suspended until further notice. The staff is still hard at work and can be contacted by phone or email (details in the Staff tab above). If you would like to pick up resources during this time, please call the office to make an appointment. The Shepherding Team met virtually on March 17 and strongly recommends that congregations suspend in-person worship services.
The PC(USA) has released an Advisory Opinion on serving communion during a pandemic.

Some don’t have access to a computer or a DVD player so what do you suggest?
If they have a CD or tape player, the audio of sermon and music could be recorded and mailed (or a printed copy of the sermon manuscript and liturgy if they don’t)…or perhaps even a phone call from a pastor/deacon/elder/friend to pray together.
