Hello again,
Thought I'd update you regarding the pending re-opening of Bethel Church which will be awhile yet. Bethel services remain suspended through the month of May. First, until York County is in the yellow phase (PA standard) we can not even consider re-opening. Currently we're remain in the red phase through June 4th. When we can open, we must consider that only 25 people can meet together, maintain the 6 foot social distances and masks will be required to be worn. So this posses other hurdles.
Several of us participated in a zoom meeting with Penn Central Conference on this topic, on Monday evening, May 4th. For now, as recommended we're establishing a Church Re-opening Committee of 4 to 5 people. This group will develop the guidelines of safety standards, when and how we can re-open. More to follow on this later.
As Carrie said tonight during the meeting, "I mention this gently and lovingly", our Bethel contributions are down. Our church needs your financial support. PLEASE send your contributions to:
Karen Beard
430 Harriburg Street
East Berlin, PA 17316
As updates occur, I will keep you posted. Until then, be safe snd stay well. God is Good!
Sincerely
Jolene Ernst
Consistory President
