A Letter from Session
Dear First Pres family,
At our November meeting, the Session approved a Covid-19 Task Force recommendation that going forward we follow the guidelines for Covid-19 as stipulated by the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH). As you all know, we are seeing a record number of cases of Covid-19 throughout our state.
The IDPH and the Cook County Department of Public Health have issued some advisories and ask everyone to comply for at least the next thirty days. To that end, our staff will once again work from home. All activity, outside of PDO and ongoing building maintenance, will stop in the church building. We will continue to collect supplies for and deliver meals for PADS because that is an essential service.
PDO will follow the guidance of District 25. Their director, Coleen Anzalone, is staying in close communication with the parents, children, and staff of PDO, as well as First Pres staff.
Some church staff will be in and out of the building during the week to check mail, phone messages, and to continue recording Sunday morning worship. All other work will be done from home. We will hold all of our meetings through the Zoom platform.
You will be able to reach the pastors through their cell phones. Those numbers are: Alex (717) 608-1396; Judy (502) 445-9281; T.C. (734) 624-6682.
At this time, we are hoping that we can return to our current level of in-office presence on December 15th. However, we will continue to follow the guidance and advice of the Illinois Department of Public Health.
On-line Sunday worship is available to you throughout Sunday morning. Please join us for worship and do not hesitate to call one of the pastors if you have a special need, a prayer request, or a question.
Praying for you and with you,
The Session of First Presbyterian Church
