United Church Homes Golf Outing - July 30
You are invited to participate in the United Church Homes golf tournament on July 30th. This is a fundraiser for the organization that runs several of our UCC nursing homes including Trinity here in Beavercreek. The tournament will be at Beavercreek Golf Club and start at 8:00 am on Friday July 30th with breakfast. The cost per player is $100 and includes breakfast, 18 holes, and lunch. The registration deadline for the tournament is August 30th. You can register online at https:// www.unitedchurchhomes.org/trinity-at-beavercreek/ where there is a link at the top of the page. You can also email advancement@uchinc.org and register that way. We already have 3 people from the church participating, and will be looking for at least one more to form a team. If you register, please let Pastor Brian know so he can let the event organizers know who is from the church and thus should be put together on a team.
Sanctuary Rededication - August 1
Please join us on Sunday August 1st as we will have a special portion of our 10:30am service for rededicating the updated sanctuary space. We will join in a special prayer for our ministry and use of the space for Christ’s mission, present a plaque commemorating the project, and thank all who made this project possible.
Church Basement Sale - August 19 thru August 21
Barring unforeseen circumstances, such as a spike in Covid-19 infections, the church is planning to have their annual basement sale on Thursday August 19th through Saturday August 21st. We will have a setup for the event on Sunday August 15th and tear down on Sunday August 22nd. Feel free to bring items for the basement sale to the church anytime between now and August 15th. We ask that things brought to the church be placed in closed boxes as much as possible to make stacking and storage easier. For the event itself we will also be asking that those that volunteer be fully vaccinated to help ensure safety.
Sunday School in July
We will be continuing to have Sunday school in July for all children who would have normally attended the nursery or our two older Sunday School classes. The class will continue to be one group that will be led by two teachers. We will be holding the class either outside, weather permitting, or in the fellowship hall. Some have asked why we are not using the Sunday School classrooms, and it is because the children are mostly unvaccinated due to their age, and thus we trying to use the space with the most ventilation possible. Unfortunately, the Sunday School classrooms are not ideal for that. Lessons, supplies, and toys are being brought outside or downstairs as needed for the class. If a parent or anyone else has any questions about this, please feel free to contact Pastor Brian. The Pastor, Consistory and Sunday School staff will be evaluating things as we move into August and September to see if we will change the current setup.
Wednesday Zoom Fellowship Changing
As things have started to get back to normal, we have had less participation in our weekly Zoom fellowship meetings. The group that met last time decided that we would change to meeting once a month on the first Wednesday of the month. So there will be a meeting on July 7th at 7:00pm, but the next Zoom fellowship meeting after that will not be until Wednesday August 4th at 7pm.
Visits From Pastor Brian
Due to an increase in the infection rates of COVID-19 for our area, and an abundance of caution, Pastor Brian will not be doing regular visits to people in their homes. This is a continuation of his current policy on visits. Pastor Brian, will however, do visits in emergency cases such as hospital visits. If that is required please contact Pastor Brian to let him know.
Joys And Concerns
We will be continuing our joys and concerns during our online service at 10:30 AM and our 9:00 AM drive-in service. To be included each week, please email your joys and concerns to Pastor Brian before each Sunday. There is also the ability to make comments during the service and we will use that as well for joys and concerns.
Giving To Beaver Church During The Pandemic
All of us have been impacted in so many ways by the Coronavirus pandemic. Many have been struggling financially, and for those of you who have, please contact Pastor Brian and we can assist you from our benevolence fund. For those that are able to continue to give your offerings to the church and wish to, you can either send checks to the church at “1960 Dayton-Xenia Rd. Beavercreek, OH 45434”, or if you wish, you can go to our website www.beaverucc.org and use the yellow donate button in the upper right hand corner of the webpage to donate online via credit or debit card. We also have a box for your offerings available at the 9:00am drive-in service. If you wish to give in person and cannot make it to the 9:00am drive-in service, please contact Pastor Brian to arrange a time to meet. We are very grateful for continued offerings during this period, as we are still paying staff and taking care of other bills and obligations.
