Music Ministry, Great Financial News Page 3 Greetings!!! Dear Wesley UMC Family, I hope that you have been enjoying our bi-weekly streaming services. Though it is odd "playing for an empty house" as they refer to it in the music business, as a music director there is something very satisfying about being able to still lead worship for our congregation during this time. I want to speak for a minute to my choir and bell ringers. I want each of you to know how much I have been missing you these last few months. Every week, I enter practices carrying a load of stress and frustration, but by the time I am done making music with you all for two hours, all the stress and frustration is gone. I miss the fun of working with all of you, making music together, and laughing. I do have plans in the works for us to be able to practice a song that we have been working on so that we can hopefully have an anthem ready in the event we are able to return to a full worship service. I will share more about that soon. To our entire church body, I want to say that I am looking forward to seeing each of you in person, even if we can't hug or shake hands at first. As the Word says, "It came to pass..." and this, too, will pass. Yours in Christ, Shane Sanderson Great Financial News Thanks to work from Harley, George and Francis, we applied and have been approved for SBA loan from the government. The amount will total around $10,400.00. Three quarters of this must go toward paying salaries. This will help our church greatly through this time of not being able to worship in person.
