Dear Members and Friends of Holy Spirit,
In light of rapidly increasing cases of COVID, on November 5, 2020 both the Northwest/ Lower and Southeast Michigan Synod Bishops strongly recommended congregations suspend in-person worship beginning on November 15, 2020. Our Church Council agrees that for the health and safety of our community, it is best to suspend in-person worship at Holy Spirit until further notice. We will continue to offer a live-stream of services at 10:30am on both Facebook and YouTube.
This was a difficult decision, but a necessary one in light of the data and trends shared by the Genesee County Health Department. Additionally, we continue to face challenges coordinating volunteers for worship due to an increasing number of individuals required to quarantine due to COVID exposure. The Church Council will regularly review Genesee County data so that we can return to in-person worship as soon as possible.
Please continue to pray for medical professionals, first responders, and those directly affected by COVID including members of Holy Spirit.
Restarting In-Person Worship – A Plan For What to Expect
As we consider when and how to restart in-person worship, HSLC Council, Worship & Music and staff have reviewed and discussed a variety of different recommendations. After taking into consideration the State of Michigan’s Safe Start plan, the Southeast Michigan Synod’s guidelines, information from the CDC and Genesee County Health Department, and our Church Mutual Insurance requirements, our plan includes the following as we return to worship at church.
We are aware these plans are restrictive even as we have opted for the most permissive options on the guidelines. We don’t like having to impose them, but we believe this will help keep us all safe, and healthy. Our goal is to ease these restrictions as soon as safely possible with continued input from the Synod, state and federal guidelines, and our insurance provider so that we can return to normal activities and worship plans quickly.
The June 2020 Semi-Annual Report is available online by clicking here. Because of the COVID-19 Pandemic, we have yet to set a date for the in-person meeting, but will do so as soon as possible.
On Saturday, May 16, Holy Spirit will resume its annual food distributions on the third Saturday of each month, May through October. The May distribution will begin by 9:00am, so we advise you to arrive in advance as food will be distributed on a "first come, first served basis." Because of the stay-at-home order, please note there will be NO access to the building for restroom facilities, and no refreshments will be served. We encourage recipients to bring a mask to wear when they drive up to receive food for their safety and for the safety of volunteers (who will also be required to wear a mask). Food will distributed in our normal drive-up process.
