Congrega onal Care One of the most meaningful things we can do for one an-other is to provide care during a difficult me such as a be-reavement, illness, or surgery. Building a web of intercon-nected rela onships is what helps us to see our church as a family and to find our faith strengthened by the knowledge that someone is praying for us and checking on us. Current-ly, there are mul ple levels of care being supplied by Pasto-ral staff, the Congrega onal Care Commi ee, and individual church members.

Congrega onal care is both a privilege and a responsibility, and we are currently seek-ing ways to make adjustments to our congrega onal care system in light of Parish As-sociate Bo’s departure. One new support effort we will be implemen ng in July is to have an elder-in-charge (EIC), aided by our Congrega onal Care Commi ee, serve as someone “on call” on Saturdays when I am taking a day off. Their primary func on will be to respond to emergency calls for prayer or hospital visita on on that day, and to keep me informed of their ac on. We will no fy the congrega on via the Friday eblast and as a message le on the church voice mail the name and number of the assigned elder-in-charge for each Saturday.

Care by Listening Presbyterians have long believed in group processes for study, mission and govern-ment. In Sunday School classes and Bible studies, we listen to others’ teaching and interpreta ons of Scripture, which helps with our own understanding. In ministry teams, we listen to input from the team members, which helps to shape and refine ideas for a ministry ini a ve. In carrying out the leadership and governing responsibil-i es of Session, we pray, share ideas and listen to others’ insights. In all of these ac vi-

es of listening, praying and sharing, we believe the Holy Spirit speaks and works. Even in these coronavirus days, remember the words of the author of Hebrews: “And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, not neglec ng to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” (Hebrews 10:24-25)

In Christ’s Service,

Pastor Anita

WORSHIP

To Sing or Not to Sing…Where are we now? I am asked on a regular basis about the safety of singing right now given what we know about the virus transmission. The simple answer is, we still don’t know how safe (or unsafe) it is at this time. There are currently tests being conducted at Colorado State University that are testing how much aerosol (or mi-croparticles) we move or create when speaking, singing, yelling, coughing, etc. We will not have con-clusive data from those tests until the end of August or September at the earliest. As noted in last month’s 3rd Chronicles, there is a lot of speculation as to the safety of singing at this time and those

ideas have led us to the conclusion that congregational singing is not a safe activity at this time. However, there is some encouraging news on the horizon. As of June 1, the CDC has removed the restriction on singing

in worship services. To be clear, they have not deemed it “safe”, but have removed the restrictions. A recent report on NPR gives a little more guidance and the link to the full report can be found at the bottom of this article.

There is also encouraging information from “The Guardian” out of London. In the article they say: “But not all scientists agree with the idea that our musical appetites pose a health risk. In particular, fluid mechanics expert Professor Christian Kähler of the Military University, Munich was highly doubtful about the dangers posed by concerts and decided to conduct experiments in the wake of the Amsterdam outbreak to find out how far singers and musicians expel air and droplets.”

“I have been studying how droplets and aerosols behave for decades and I was very doubtful that musicians and singers

were spreading the virus. So I decided to measure just how strong was the airflow from them,” Kahler told the Observer last week. “We studied singing in low and high frequencies and all sorts of things like that. We also studied different instruments. And based on the flow analysis we did of these performances we could clearly see what was going on.”

And yes, one or two instruments did pose threats in terms of their powerful air flow and might spread virus particles dan-

gerously if some form of protection was not added. In particular the flute is especially strong while the oboe and clarinet also posed problems. “The large wind instruments like the horn were not dangerous but the flute could be, it turned out. Its air flow is considera-ble. “However, we also found out that singing is quite safe. It was not the cause of the outbreaks of COVID-19 at these concerts,” he said. “Air was only propelled about half a meter in front of a singer, and that is not far enough to cause the infection levels of these outbreaks.”

Kähler said the virus was probably spread among chorus members because of their close proximity to each other before

and after rehearsals and performances. As he pointed out: “These outbreaks among choir members all occurred during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, before lockdowns were imposed and before our minds were concentrated on the importance of social distancing. Choir members probably greeted each other with hugs, and shared drinks during breaks and talked closely with each other. That social behavior was the real cause of these outbreaks, I believe.”

This point was also stressed by Professor Adam Finn of Bristol University. “The evidence for a link with singing and

spreading the virus may look compelling but is still anecdotal,” he said. “Without data from comparably large groups who interacted in the same way but didn’t sing, it’s hard to be certain that the singing was responsible. The point is that we now live in a world where the constant need for risk evaluation is suddenly noticeable. Before, we did it all the time without thinking about it.” It is also important to note that this research has not yet been peer reviewed, or duplicated. That is a major step with any new data.

So, where does that leave us? We have decided to err on the side of caution for now. We will not have any group or con-gregational singing at this time. However, we are watching for a time when we can begin to integrate that back into our services. We are starting to get groups of singers together during the week to record some of the hymns and an an-them for future services and you will begin to see those recordings beginning June 28th.

We will continue to present music in the worship service through soloists, recorded small ensem-

bles, handbells and instrumental music. We are getting closer, but aren’t quite there yet.

In Christ’s love!

CHILDREN’S MINISTRIES Children's Ministry is working to come up with new ways to serve our amazing kids and their families during these trying mes. Pinwheels for Pentecost was a success! On May 29th, Ansley and myself rode around to the homes of the children that have been in-volved with Sunday School and Joy Kids in the past. We delivered pinwheels to them as a reminder to the breath and fire of the Holy Spirit that we remember on Pentecost Sun-day! It was so good to see some of their smiling faces and we were sure sad to miss those we weren’t able to see.

We have a few summer events planned for our kids as well. We are making adjustments to the events to make them as safe as possible. All events will be held outside in the open air. Restrooms will be available on an as needed basis for individual trips and will be sani zed a er each use. The event will only last about 45 minutes in an effort to limit exposure me and also to end in enough me for families to be able to view the contemporary service at 6pm either in person or virtually if they so choose. We encourage each child to bring their own water bo le. Water in recommended since we will be in the heat and the water fountains will not be available for use. Parents are also invited to and encouraged to stay for the event. Each event will include a Bible story and a fun recrea onal ac vity. I am open to comments or ques ons about safety procedures. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any ques ons you may have at summervillepreskids@gmail.com. Dates for our two remaining events are Sunday, July 12 and Sunday, July 26. All sessions will start at 5pm. We look forward to seeing some smiling faces! We are con nuing to provide the Growing in Grace and Gra tude curriculum to our children and their fami-lies through the summer. The lesson for the week is emailed out weekly along with a brief 5 minutes video reviewed the lesson and the Bible story. We plan to con nue this at this point and will reassess as needs change in the future. We miss seeing all our children every week but the children and their families remain in our thoughts and prayers. We ask for con nued prayers for our world and our community as we move in these uncertain

mes. God bless!

Ana Hill Interim Director of Children’s Ministries

I LOVE THY CHURCH, O GOD This is a familiar hymn in our church. The tune, entitled St. Thomas, is the same one for I LOVE THY CHURCH, O GOD, I LOVE THY KINDOM LORD and RISE UP, O MEN OF GOD. The author of our hymn, Timothy Dwight (1792-1817), is important in the history of Ameri-can hymns. He is also important in American literature and education. Dwight was a Congre-

gational pastor and a Revolutionary War chaplain. As an educator he was a tutor and professor at Yale College and be-came president from 1795 to 1817. As president he continued to teach and serve as chaplain. He was instrumental in improving both the academic and the spiritual life of the college. Aaron Williams (1731-1776) was the composer of the tune St. Thomas. He taught singing, was a music engraver and clerk at the Scottish Church, London Wall. He published various church music collections, some intended for rural church choirs.

GROW

Women’s Five-Week Bible Study! Join Pastor Anita and Heather Kemble Thursday nights on Zoom be-ginning July 9th. They will be offering a study called “The Faithful,” which is a compilation of studies by several best-selling authors: Beth Moore, Priscilla Shirer, Lisa Harper, Kelly Minter, and Jennifer Rothschild. This 5-session study explores crucial moments in the lives of five Old Testament figures—Esther, Gideon, Malachi, Nehe-miah, and Hosea. Through their stories, discover how God uses the lives of ordinary people for His glory and the good of His people. Strengthen your faith as you walk alongside these larger-than-life fig-ures who all chose to obey God no matter the circumstances.

Contact Julie at summervillepres.org to reserve your spot and your book. Bible study books are $14, and will be pre-ordered and availa-ble for pick-up prior to the study. The deadline for placing your order is July 2nd.

Summer Wednesday Night Bible Study Join Ralph on Facebook Live each Wednesday night at 6:30 pm, as we dive deep into the gospel of John!

New Bible Study for Saturday Morning Men's Group Join Ralph and the men's group as they begin a study of 1 Peter on Saturday, June 27th, at 8:30 am. At first Christianity enjoyed official toleration by the Roman empire, but gradually the gov-ernment turned against it. Rome resented the Christians' talk about another kingdom and their objection to idolatry and decadence. Although 1 Peter was originally written to people in severe danger, its lessons apply to all of us, for we all experience pain of some kind. Why don't things work out the way we want? Is God trying to tell us something? Peter gives authoritative an-swers. If you want to join in, please email PastorAnitaHerbert@gmail.com to be added to the Zoom invitation list.

NOTES FROM A CHURCH MOUSE

By Ezekiel W. Mouse, Esq. Special to 3rd Chronicles

“Wasn’t it fun to see how happy people were to see each other when the services began again at church?”

“Yes, Mary. Even though they couldn’t hug or see the happy smiles, you knew they were under the masks. It is good that every-one wore the masks to keep their friends safe.” "Often just the ordinary ability to attend church is taken for granted until you no longer can, then you realize how much you miss it!” “I was thinking how, under normal conditions, people might be thinking of excuses for not going to church. Teenagers may want to sleep in, and others might wake up thinking it was won-derful weather for a round of golf.” “I bet there are two groups that really want to go, children and the older members of the congregation. The children look forward to seeing their friends and having fun at church, and the older members were raised to attend unless there is a really good reason to stay home.” “I bet our members now realize what a privilege it is to be able to attend church. Some people elsewhere can not do so.” “I hope the church can go back to being the way it was, but this pandemic may have changed it forever. Whatever happens we will still be able to worship as a family of faith!"
