Abilene High School has asked us to ring our church bells today at 1:30 p.m. to honor the 2020 graduating class. Our electronic carillon isn’t working, but for this special occasion, I’m going to set up the portable sound system outside and play a recording of bells.

This coming Wednesday, May 20, 2020, we’ll try to once again to hold the Wednesday Evening Communion Service at 6:00 p.m., but it will be online via Zoom, not in person in the sanctuary. Note that the meeting information is the same for the Zoom meeting and the Wednesday Evening Bible Study at 6:15 p.m. You can attend either one or both, just dial in or hang up at the appropriate time.

This morning, we had trouble with the phone line we use to broadcast live to 1560 A.M. On a hunch, I tried calling the main line as well and it also isn’t working. We’ll call this outage in tomorrow morning. I don’t know how long it will take to get the phones back up and running but you can call Jenny and I on our mobile phones if you need anything in the meantime.
