The Holston Conference has made the decision to continue all church closures in the conference until further notice. You can read Bishop Taylor's detailed letter​ here. Though we are deeply disappointed that we will not be able to worship with you face to face, we know that this decision was one of compassion towards the most vulnerable among us. As the virus continues to spread, we must look out for our brothers and sisters in Christ, as Paul tells us to do in Philippians 2:4: "Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others." 
We have made the decision to close the church office on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. We will, however, be open on Wednesday from 9-3. Ashley will be working from home and has forwarded the church phone to her cell phone, so she will still be able to conduct church business, and you can call her with questions and concerns. 
Though we will not be meeting face to face, we want to encourage you to worship with us online on Sundays at 10am on our King Street Modern Worship Facebook page. The video will also be posted on our website by Monday morning, as well as our Shady Grove United Methodist Church Facebook page.
