SLM News
The Shared Lutheran Ministry will be hosting parking lot worship on Aug. 23 (Vicar Cole’s first Sunday with us), Sept. 6 and Sept. 20. The SLM will meet in Warrenton at 9 a.m. You are welcome to bring lawn chairs and sit under the trees, distanced from other worshipers. It has been lovely under the huge oaks at that time of day.
We will make decisions about in-person worship on a month-to-month basis. We will continue to broadcast the service on Facebook, YouTube and KTIM.
When we have parking lot worship, we will celebrate communion. You can use your own bread/wine/juice or pick up a pre-packaged cup from your church.
