Perks of this kind of worship:
Bring your breakfast and favorite hot beverage to your own personal worship space.
Stay cozy! Stay casual!
Light a candle or set out flowers to make your “personal worship space” special if you’d like.
Place
a glass or small vase in the area where you’re participate and plan to
put your offering in it during worship, then leave it out during this
time, to remind you to continue giving. Alternately, Consider online giving as a great option: we have a DONATE button on our site.
Be prepared to share a symbol of hope and renewal with each other, if you’d like to do so!
Bring your prayer requests, or send them in advance to Rev Gail.
We anticipate adding other creative Zoom offerings, from hymn sings to meditations in the next few days.
CIRCLE of CARING and OTHER SAFETY NETS
JCC’s CIRCLE of CARING
Volunteers from around the community are helping. We make friendly
check-ins with vulnerable friends and neighbors. Mostly, we call and say
hello. Weask if people have any other needs that require additional
help. If more help than a friendly call is required, and it’s outside
the buddy’s role, referrals may go through Rev Gail to make other safety
and helping connections as needed. So far, we have conducted visits
(before the virus kept us apart), made phone calls, grocery runs, mail
pickups, delivered meals and flowers delivered!
Church leaders will also be calling all of our friends and members just to check on everyone!
Other safety nets:
JACKSON BRIDGE is a community helpers list and connector service. In their own words: “We are proud to offer a new community listserv, we have named, Jackson Bridge, designed to help unite helpful people with neighbors needing a boost. A listserv is an electronic mailing list to which you can subscribe and then any message that is sent to it gets distributed to everyone else who is subscribed. We encourage anyone in our Jackson Community, who is willing to help another or who needs some help to sign up. More information, including some guidelines for usage on our the library’s new Jackson Bridge webpage.
GOOD MORNING PROJECT with SHERIFF & POLICE (Available in Conway, Bartlett & Jackson). The program is in place to assist senior citizens of the community, who live alone, to continue living an independent lifestyle through daily check-ins. To participate in the program one must:

In the event Police dispatchers do not hear from you by 10 a.m., they will attempt to call.
When contact cannot be made by telephone, a patrol unit responds to the resident to check on the welfare of the member.
