You Can Make a Difference and
Fight Obesity in Clark County
By getting fresh vegetables into the
Robert & Gillie Frye Food Pantry at
Clark County Community Services
Center our community can begin to reduce obesity. Plant an extra row in
your garden for those who are hungry
and help them eat healthier.
Simple Steps to Address a Need
1. Plant vegetables, fruits, and herbs in
your garden.
2. Call the church to arrange
for pickup, 744-3181 Monday
through Thursday.
3. Each week during garden
season, volunteers will pick up
and deliver fresh your donations
of veggies to the Center for
inclusion in its food baskets.
4. Take your veggies directly to the
Food Pantry, have it weighed
and notated from First Christian
Church.
A Healthier Community When families prepare and eat fresh
foods they are healthier. The earth
provides in abundance. Why not share?
July Mission Emphasis
10% of your General Fund Offerings
set aside each week for Missions
Funds, will be shared with:
Clark Co. Community Services
“Beat the Heat” Utility Assistance
program and Habitat for
Humanity Thrivent Build of
Madison & Clark Counties.
You are encouraged to give over and
above your General Fund Offerings
by noting: Heat OR Habitat OR

envelope, or online gift. Thank you in
advance for your donations.
Lunch with Rev. Jerry

“Meet Me at the Benches”
Rev. Dr. Jerry invites you to join him for
lunch at the three benches under the
trees on the Highland St side of the
church. The lunches are social-distance
friendly and outdoors for our safety.
They are held every Wednesday at

the shade, and visit with your church
friends. Please call the church office to

Through the Eyes of Faith
God is always present. There is no
time that God is not present, active,
engaged, and available.
The upheaval that we are all
experiencing together is worldwide.
The pandemic is affecting the
population of the whole earth, every
country, every economy. There is no
place on earth that the virus has not
touched because viruses do not
recognize state lines, national borders,
race, religion, or any other dividing line
humans have designed. I suspect that
this is a unique time in human history.
It is my suspicion this is the only
time that the whole of humanity has
experienced the same phenomena at
the same time. We are all amid the
raging storm together.
Of course, the way individuals, and
local, state, national governments have
dealt with the pandemic varies widely.
Some are skeptical of it, though over
9 million people worldwide have been
infected and almost 2.5 million of those
infections are in the United States –
about 30% of worldwide cases; and to
date 480,00 people have died as a
result of the novel coronavirus. Some
choose to reject the advice of health
experts and wear face coverings,
practice social distancing or
acknowledge the risk. Others are so
anxious about the disease they are
frightened to leave their homes,
sanitize anything and everything
and do the best they can to live in
quarantine. Most of us are trying our
best to balance our safety and the
safety of the ones we love with the
necessity of working outside the home,
interacting with people and all the
gether safely and calling those,
“Meet Me Events” available to
children, youth, and adults. They
are detailed elsewhere in this
newsletter. If you feel comfortable,
join us. We hope to expand the
“Meet Me” events to wider groups
in the church as time passes.
Even in these intentionally safe
events we have concern for
welfare and safety --- because we
love each other, and we want each
other to be healthy.
Please join us for online worship
on Sundays.
Please check on one another. Call,
text or make safe visits with one
another. Send cards. But please
check on each other.
And continue to pray for the church
leaders as they try to discern what
God is speaking to us as a congre-
gation. We are convinced that
there is no time that God is not
present, active, engaged, and
available.
Peace and Love,
Jerry
Worship Livestream
Begins at 10:35am
Each Sunday the worship service
is being livestreamed beginning
at 10:35am.

Facebook and YouTube.

dangers that brings.
Churches are responding differently,
too. Some congregations refused to
cease in-person worship at any time
or went back to in-person worship as
soon as they legally could. Some have
instituted safety protocols, and some
have shunned any effort to mitigate
viral spread.
It is all difficult and confusing and
bewildering and produces stress and
anxiety in almost all of us. It has
changed us. The virus has changed us.
But there is no time that God is not
present, active, engaged, and available.
In study and in prayer, in consultation
with science and reflecting on faith,
the leadership of First Christian Church
is doing the best it can to provide
fellowship and worship and learning
when being together puts us at a greater
risk than staying apart. There is no
handbook for navigating this. There is
no clear word from God that illuminates
a pathway for us to follow. If it were only
that clear and simple. There are several
churches in Winchester who have
returned to in-person worship. We pray
for their safety. We pray for their worship
services to be meaningful and safe.
They are our neighbors, our co-workers,
our friends. We pray for them and we
hope they are praying for us as our
leadership continues to discern what
God is calling us to do.
We will return to in-person worship.
We have prepared so that when we do
worship in person it will be as safe as
we can make it, but we are still discern-
ing when it will be safe enough. When
we return to
in-person worship there will still be risk.
How much risk are we willing to live
with?
It is not easy being apart. But there is no
time that God is not present, active, en-
gaged, and available.
We are trying some ways to get us to-

Shawna Mitchell, Rev. Dr. Jerry
Johns, Betty Jane Glasscock
& Steve Lawson
We hope this email/snail mail finds
everyone well. What a crazy, few
months it has been. If there are
blessings to be had in this
unprecedented time, we hope you
are living in them …
... time to be with family
... time to take up a hobby
... time to clear your mind
We know that some of our most
special things have been changed,
postposed, and canceled, and I just
want to thank you for the grace you
have shown through it. We know you
have been watching the news, asking
questions, and praying for one anoth-
er. Your tears are not forgotten. God
loves you dearly.
The Children’s Ministry Team of First
Christian Church is brainstorming a
few ways to use the CDC guidelines
for our benefit the next few weeks /
months. We have no idea when things
will return to normal, but we know the
power of connections and connected-
ness, meeting and being met, so we
want to extend these ideas with you.
We are calling these
“MEET ME” events.
“Meet Me” … “On the Porch” -
Target age 0 - 8 (Flexibility allows
for anyone interested, of course.)
Time to visit, share a small snack, and

been to camp before, this is the year

Disciples of Christ camps, Wakon‘Da-
Ho and Kum-Ba-Ya have plans for
virtual content that Shawna and Rev.
Dr. Jerry want you to be a part of.

New Livestream Setup in Place
Thanks to William Warfield and Warfield Media the church has invested in a
state-of-the-art livestream system. The new system allows the church to continue
to livestream the worship service now and after we return to in-person worship.
The livestream has been watched from Washington state to Metairie, LA from
Winchester to Oslo, Norway. It has expanded the church’s worship reach beyond
our imagination and the Administrative Board has been intent on sustaining the
livestream well into the future.
The new livestream system gives the church that capacity. Watch every Sunday
beginning at 10:35am as we worship together and learn how to use the new
features of the system.

Statement of Identity We are Disciples of Christ, a movement for wholeness in a fragmented world. As part of the one body of Christ, we welcome all to the Lord’s Table as God has welcomed us. If we are who we profess to be, then we must do as the Lord directs. Matthew 22:9 says “Go therefore into the main streets, and invite everyone you find to the wedding banquet.” There is room at the Lord’s Table for all God’s children. Let us come together to celebrate the bread of heaven.
