Hi Living Stones,

We’re looking forward to this Sunday as we use a “both/and” approach to restarting physical connections with our Living Stones community. We’ll start both on-site outdoor seating services at Alii Drive (7:30, 9:00, 10:30 am) and encourage the start of livestream “Watch Parties” (7:30, 9:00, 10:30 am, 6:00 pm) in your homes. Either way provides a great opportunity to begin connecting again!

The “Watch Party” approach will be especially well-suited for those with young children or who simply prefer your own living room with a group of people you choose to invite. The process is simple!

• Invite a few friends to join you this Sunday at a specified time
  Have coffee or tea available
• Sing & watch; laugh & chat together
• Involve the kids. Worship together and then put the Kids Kingdom lesson on a separate device/TV. (Link Here)
• You do NOT need to teach or provide a meal!

The “On-Site” services will involve health protocols for your comfort and safety.

• No children’s ministry will be provided.
• Seating will be outside only & physically spaced. Household groups may of course sit together.
• Services will be “touch free,” which means no refreshments provided. (Bring your own water.)
• Seats, restrooms, etc. will be properly cleaned/sanitized before and between all services
• All staff & volunteers will be wearing face masks when not speaking or leading worship.
• All attendees, in accordance with CDC guidelines, should wear cloth masks.
• All are requested to honor physical distancing while on-site.
• While we love hugs and handshakes, we ask that for now a smile, shaka, or wave be substituted.

Whether you choose a “Watch Party” or “On-Site” service this Sunday, we’re looking forward to reconnecting as a community! We’ll continue our “Valley” series and be praying for our country. We’re living in complicated times as we navigate a viral pandemic and racial injustices. But our Father is still on His throne! And our commission is still to make disciples and be people through whom His will is done on earth as it is in heaven!

Much love,

Bill
