Dearest Church,

As you may be aware, Governor Bullock is extending the statewide closures of schools, restaurants, bars and other gathering places as the number of coronavirus cases continues to grow until April 10th.  Additionally, the Sanders County Courthouse and Sheriff's office effective today, Wednesday, March 25, those offices will be closed to the general public, as well as city properties in Plains and Thompson Falls.

The church leadership continues to assess the situation in our community and has decided to extend the suspension of worship and activities at the church through April 10th.

While we do not know how we will be worshiping Easter this year, Pr. Carol is in conversation with the Synod, pastors, and the worship team in ways to celebrate this year. As plans formalize, we will keep you apprised of our plans. 

Pr. Carol continues to be in the First Lutheran Church office Monday – Thursday from 8:30 – 11:30 am. Of course, you can continue to reach her via email, text, cell phone, or at the parsonage.  Please let her know of ways in which she can help you as your pastor.

We are continuing to connect in new ways through modified worship experience for both Sundays and Wednesdays that you will be able to access via social media platforms. Lenten Devotions will continue.

Your continued generosity toward the ministries of Our Savior’s Lutheran Church are more important than ever during this time.   Our congregation's expenses are nearly the same as in normal times.  Let's see how resilient we can be in this way.  You can give by mailing in your offering or dropping it off at the church.

​

The church is more than just the building. Our life as the faith community is continuing in new ways. May we continue to trust God in deeper ways, and may we rise up to be the standard for kindness, generosity, and hope as we move through the storm with our eyes fixed on Jesus, our Savior.

God’s peace,

Pastor Carol Seilhymer

Annie Wooden, Church Council President

Karen Dwyer, LPA and Financial Secretary
