Update from the Task Force on Reopening Church Buildings

August 2020

Dear Church family,

We all remember the childhood finger play that was, “Here is the church. Here is the steeple. Open the doors and see ALL the people.” How we wish that simple rhyme and finger play would and could apply to PCEI. Yet, truth be known, we are all together. We are one in Christ. Yes, our church BUILDING is closed, but each and every one of us is actually the church. Just like the old azaleas and oak trees on our grounds have weathered storms, we are weathering a different storm. We will come out of these days with a stronger congregation, because our love for one another has been evident in so many ways over these past weeks.

While we wait, we want you to know that the Task Force has asked the Session to continue suspending in-person gatherings including our precious preschool, and Session unanimously concurred. Numbers of infections continue to grow on Edisto and in South Carolina. Hopefully, there will not be another spike in cases after Labor Day as there has been after both Memorial Day and Independence Day. We are diligently working on a plan for our phased reopening. As soon as we have this finished and approved by Session, we will share it with all of you.

Please continue to pray for our minister and staff and each of our members.

Yours in Christ,
The Task Force on Reopening

In response to God's love and grace, through Jesus Christ, we commit to learning, proclaiming and living the love of God.
