Dear Harpeth Hills,

How are things going with worship back at the building? I have gotten this question over the last couple of weeks. The short answer is pretty good. In fact we are awfully pleased with how things have gone so far. A more detailed attendance report from Sunday, June 28, is as follows.

8:00 am—60

9:30 am—100

11:00 am—40

5:30 pm—56

7:00 pm—141

Five House Churches—130

And, of course, hundreds are watching our online worship services. You can watch the services through Facebook (no account required) on Sundays. The services can be accessed through our website on Monday.

Our guess is this arrangement of five offerings at the building plus the house churches should be sufficient for several weeks. When increasing numbers demand, we will add services. We do not anticipate increasing the indoor capacity of 125 per service anytime soon.

You will get a more detailed report soon, but giving continues to be strong. Currently we are in good financial shape, and all ministries and mission efforts continue to be fully funded.

Thank you for your ongoing support and patience as we lean into this time of challenge.

I love you.
