Update from Elders; Sunday Plan for May 17th
Dear Church Family,
It is our intention to meet in person for worship on Sunday, May 17th, at 10:00 AM. We very much look forward to it. Yet, in accordance with guidelines set by the state, the following measures will be in place to promote the health and safety of all:
We are grateful to God that conditions have improved such that allow us to be together again; this is an answered prayer for which we give God the glory! We will resume Wednesday night services this week also. Please continue to have patience as we transition back as all will not be exactly as we were previously used to. Thank you for your great love and concern for each other and the church over the past many weeks.

- We have ensured that the building is clean and all surfaces are disinfected
- We will have the auditorium and the fellowship area available for seating; those who prefer sitting farther apart might choose the fellowship area, and this also will serve as overflow if we have a large crowd
- We ask that you practice safe distancing, maintaining six feet of space from one another; this also means we will generally sit on every other pew
- We ask that you refrain from handshakes, hugging and other personal contact
- We will use individually wrapped communion bread/cups that will be handed out to you each as you enter the building
- We will offer multiple exits so there are fewer congested areas once we dismiss
- Please fellowship outside with proper distancing after our assembly, if you choose
- You may wear a mask if you are more comfortable doing so, but this is not mandated

Wednesday Night - May 13th
Tonight at 7:00 PM you may join our study via Zoom or live audio stream. We are continuing our Wednesday series on the Gospel of Matthew.
Update from Elders; Sunday Plan for May 10
Although late Friday the city amended its position on churches opening their doors, we will meet virtually on Sunday morning, May 10th, as previously announced. The elders decided there was not enough time to adequately plan for a transition back to in-person worship tomorrow. To be prudent and cautious, and for everyone's safety and health, we will spend the next several days planning for meeting in person again on Sunday, May 17th, Lord willing.
Additionally, hamburgers and hot dogs will be cooked out tomorrow and will be ready between noon to 12:15. You may pick up an order or eat in the parking lot (with social distancing). Delivery is an option for those who need it. Place your order now by texting or calling Bruce at 405-820-8474, or email normanchurchtech@gmail.com - we need to know how much to prepare. (All food will be prepared with gloves and masks.)
We wish all of our mothers a very happy Mother's Day in advance. We praise God for all of you!

Wednesday Singing Night - May 6th
Wednesday at 7:00 PM you may join us via Zoom or live audio stream (linked above). Warm up your voices -- we're going to sing! It may not be like most first Wednesday singings (something we really miss!), but let's praise the Lord in song all the same.
Update on Sunday Morning Plans
On Due to the City of Norman’s Healthier at Home initiative, churches are not to open their doors at this time. We are unable to meet in-person on Sunday, May 3rd or Sunday, May 10th. However, we prayerfully hope to be able to come back together at the building on Sunday, May 17th, but this is yet to be determined. As soon as we can announce an official plan to reconvene in person, we will.
Please note that even when we can meet at the building again, we fully understand that not all should rush back. Our vulnerable populations should do what is best for their health and safety, and that likely means continuing to stay at home for a time. It is our intention for the foreseeable future to continue offering a Zoom option of some type and live audio.
For the next two Sunday mornings we will continue to email and text a Zoom Meeting ID, or if you prefer the live audio feed you may link to it directly above.
We are very grateful for how patient you have been and for the prayers that you continue to offer for our church and our world. We long for the day we can be back together. Lord willing it will be in the very near future.
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. -Colossians 3:15

Sunday Morning Service Plan - March 29th
Due to Norman’s safer-at-home/shelter-in-place ordinance, the elders have decided we will not meet this Sunday morning, March 29th. Instead we will offer an opportunity for us to come together virtually – via Zoom Meetings and Live Audio, just as we did Wednesday night. This will take place at our regular time – 10:00 AM.
We will email and text the Zoom Meeting ID Saturday, or if you prefer the live audio feed on Sunday morning you may link to it directly from our homepage at normanchurch.com.
In addition to praying, singing and teaching, we will observe the Lord’s supper together during this time Sunday. Please make plans to have unleavened bread and fruit of the vine ready, or if you need one of the pre-packaged communion packets we used last week, let one of the elders or deacons know and we will make arrangements to get this to you. Additionally, you may contact one of the elders or deacons about how to send your planned weekly contribution.
Thank you all for your continued prayers and for your patience. We love you all and miss you.
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. -Colossians 3:15

Using Zoom Meetings for Wednesday Night
We are planning a virtual sermon/study presentation this Wednesday at 7:00 PM. To access it, you will need Zoom video conferencing.
Having Zoom on your computer or mobile device/tablet before Wednesday night will make it faster and easier for you to join the “meeting.”
Also, attached you will find instructions on how to Join a Meeting once you have the Zoom Client or Zoom app. Before Wednesday night we will send you a Meeting ID that you will type in to “Join a Meeting” and then that will take you directly to the virtual meeting.
We understand this isn’t for everyone – you might not prefer to try this, and if so, that’s OK. But we wanted to offer a virtual way, at least, for us to get together since we won’t have a service at the building Wednesday. It is our plan also to live stream the audio only, like we did Sunday morning, for those who prefer that option.
If you have questions about Zoom, feel free to call or text Craig at 405.570.6870, or email him at rchayes@ou.edu.
Thank you and God bless!

Elder Update as of Saturday, March 21
Brothers and Sisters in the Lord,
As you are no doubt aware, the COVID-19 virus is spreading rapidly. As God’s children, we are not called to “a spirit of fear” (2 Tim 1:7) but are wanting to walk in God’s wisdom (James 1:5) during this time of “…present distress” (1 Cor 7:26). We want to come together as a body to worship the Lord, edify and encourage one another (1 Cor 14) and to “spur one another on to love and good works” (Heb 10:24).
Norman mayor Clark has issued an emergency order that there be no gatherings of 50 or more people. Because of this decree, your elders have decided the following:
Some things to know:
We ask for your prayers for all of those who are not able to be with us on Sunday, for those who are vulnerable to this virus and for all those working to help in a myriad of ways. This may all seem scary at times, but our faith is in a loving God who will never leave us or forsake us (Psa 27:9).
In His Service,
The Elders

- We have cancelled all activities at the building including but not limited to Wednesday night services, fellowship meals, studies and food pantry EXCEPT Sunday morning services
- We will hold 2 services on Sunday morning at 9:00am and 11:00am. We are intending these to be as similar as possible with the same speaker, etc.
- We are encouraging those 70 and over, those with suppressed immune systems (heart disease, lung/breathing issues, diabetes, etc.), those that exhibit any symptoms of cough, fever, etc., to STAY HOME. If you feel unsafe for yourself or others, please know that we will be here praying for you. You are not forsaking the assembly by keeping yourself and others safe. Lives and livelihoods are at stake!
Some things to know:
- We are being extra vigilant to clean and disinfect all surfaces and will do so between the two services on Sunday.
- We ask that you wash your hands upon entering the building. Hand sanitizer will be available as well.
- In order to help limit the spreading of the virus, we will be using individually wrapped communion bread/cups. Please pick one up as you enter the building before services.
- We ask that you refrain from handshakes, hugging and other personal contact temporarily.
- We ask that you spread out through the auditorium for worship and you always maintain a distance of 6 feet from one another.
- Please return to your homes immediately following the service
