PHASE 1 - AS OF AUGUST 1
SUNDAY GATHERINGS
Our Sunday gatherings will continue to be announced weekly as far as to where we will gather and whether they will be online or outside. Regardless of the format, we will continue gathering each week at 10:00am in a way that is conducive to social distancing guidelines and restrictions. We ask you to always bring your mask, wear when appropriate, and please stay home if you feel any symptoms of covid or any kind of sickness.
We have had some technical issues, which have prohibited us from streaming our gatherings; but we are working on a work around now for those that aren’t quite ready to gather in person, are sick, working, or traveling one weekend. Most likely this will be a simple video with the message for the weekend recorded that we will put on our YouTube channel.
KIDS
Parents, we have access to RightNow Media and MinistryGrid, which both have age appropriate discipleship material for your children. If this is something you are interested in please contact Beth Martin by emailing beth@eastbridgechurch.com.
GROUPS
Our Gospel Communities and Small Groups are taking a break for the remainder of Summer. We are intentionally taking a break from our normal group rhythms to give space for leaders to rest and flexibility to enjoy community in unique ways. Groups should still see each other weekly through whatever form of gathering we are having, while remaining sensitive to those group members who may not be ready for in-person gatherings quite yet. Our plan is to resume in groups the first week of September and start Undivided: Your Church & Racial Reconciliation.
TABLES
Tables are a place to deepen our understanding of Jesus, remind each other of our identity, connect as friends, and pray together. These groups are practically Covid-proof as they are 2-3 people of the same gender meeting with the purpose to grow deeper in relationship with God and one another and can gather anywhere. While not required these groups have the freedom to continue to gather and may even need to become a bigger emphasis as we continue with Covid restrictions. To learn more about Tables go here. If you would like help getting started or connected with others to start one email info@sojournpdx.org.
PRAYER RHYTHMS
We are starting a weekly prayer rhythm (Midweek prayer) that will be in-person each week. This is a powerful time to interrupt our daily rhythm and dedicate our time to God through scripture and prayer.
Mid-week Prayer - We are starting an in person Midweek Prayer rhythms on Wednesdays at noon at various locations around the city. We will rotate weekly and it will be announced prior to Wednesday so that at least one week should be conducive to nearby where you live, work, and play.
**Please follow appropriate social distancing guidelines for all in person gatherings.
