Congregational Updates: December

One item from the consent agenda was pulled and discussed in New Business: the partnership with the Mid-South Food Bank. After discussing some details, the Session voted unanimously to approve a partnership with the Mid-South Food Bank for distributions on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month and a sign at the corner of Union and S Evergreen.

The Clerk advised that January COVID numbers in Shelby County are anticipated to be worse than December. January worship will include guest preachers, all of whom have elected to preach virtually. The Session voted to proceed with pre-recorded worship services in January. In the event of a funeral, attendance will be limited to 50 (including staff).
