Dear Church Family,
We have a few new announcements for you. Please bear with us through this long post! -We wanted to inform you that we have made the difficult decision to cancel the Holy Week Revival we had planned in conjunction with other area churches. Instead, we will be doing a live online Maundy Thursday service at the church and posting a devotional for Good Friday. -The second difficult decision we have made is to cancel the Easter Egg Hunt. Please share this information with friends and family who had planned on attending so that we can get the word out to everyone. Ashley is working on alternative ideas to a live Easter Egg Hunt, so keep an eye on the Shady Grove and King's Kidz Facebook pages for updates and activities around Easter. -As a church, we want to use this unprecedented opportunity to show the world that the church is not a building, but a group of Jesus' followers. We want to encourage you to think outside of the box for ways to share the love of Christ with your brothers and sisters. One way we suggest you do this is by downloading the directory app or accessing the directory online (instructions will be included at the bottom of this email**) and reaching out to the family whose name is directly below you in the alphabetized list. This way, each family in the church is being looked after by at least one church member. If you know for sure that the person directly below you no longer attends Shady Grove (we are working on cleaning up the list), skip to the next person in the list. -We would also encourage you to go above and beyond that one person and reach out to others in our church, especially those who you know are home bound or sick. If you would like to be put on a "first responder" list to help those who call the church office with a need, please email Ashley at assist@shadygrovedandridge.org. -As always, if you or someone you know has a need, be it financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, please call the church office at 865-397-7453 or email Ashley at assist@shadygrovedandridge.org. We would be more than happy to extend a helping hand without judgment. Thank you for reading this email, and check your email periodically for more information from Shady Grove!
