Each August, Jerusalem Presbyterian Church hosts the Donna Lexa Memorial Art Fair in the village of Wales. Part of the Art Fair is a used book sale in the church fellowship hall. JPC is seeking used books for the sale; all proceeds from the art fair and booksale go to help a variety of non-profit organizations in Waukesha County.

This year’s fair and booksale is August 21. If you would like to donate books please contact Marge Bartz or Pastor Andy Holmes at Jersalem Presbyterian Church. People can bring books by JPC or we can arrange to pick them up.

You’re invited to join all of your friends from Delafield Presbyterian Church for a drink at Splash Cocktail Lounge in Oconomowoc! (134 N Main St, Oconomowoc, WI 53066)

In order for us to make a reservation, we need you to RSVP.

Please sign up on the main bulletin board, or talk to Pam Angst for the details. Hope to see you there!

The shared handbell choir between DPC and KMUPC will be at DPC on Sunday, August 8. Come and see our exciting new partnership! Also, watch for a combined vocal choir coming soon!

We had a productive Little Dresses meeting on May 6 making pillow cases. We have new easier to follow directions for making these pillowcases if you are interested in joining us. These will eventually be given to various organizations that distribute them to children in hospitals or in other difficult situations.

These are a new sewing project for the Little Dresses organization and more potential new projects to be considered at our next meeting, Wednesday June 2nd from noon to 4:00 pm. 

We decided this year to meet on the first Wednesday of each month. Watch for more information.
Please mark your calendars and hope to see you then.

Since the Covid numbers have been dropping in our area, the session of DPC has decided that it is time to open our sanctuary for in-person worship. It will be wonderful to be back together again, but there are a few things you should know before coming. Please read the rest of this note carefully before attending!

• The service will be pared-down a bit, when compared to a pre-covid service. Services will be similar to our parking lot services that we held over the summer. They will be shorter, with less music and interaction.
• Masks will be required for attending worship. We’re trying to take every possible precaution. If you forget yours, one will be provided when you enter the building.
• You’re asked to maintain a distance of six feet from anyone who is not a member of your household.
• We will not be participating in any congregational singing because many studies have shown that singing spreads particulates far more efficiently than speaking. Robin and I are working to creatively incorporate music into the services.
• We will also not be passing the peace or passing the offering plate. Instead of passing the offering plate, there will be a box at the back of the sanctuary. You may drop offerings into the box on your way in or out of the sanctuary.
• Another thing that needs to go into the box is a card with the name of all people from your household who attended worship, a phone number and the date: This is for the purpose of contact tracing. Should a positive case occur in the congregation, we will want to be able to call everyone who attended a service with that person.
• Unfortunately, we will not be having social time before or after the service. You are asked to simply go to your car after the service is over. As much as I would love to give you all handshakes and hugs, I will not be able to in this setting.
• Nursery care will not resume yet, and Sunday School will continue to be conducted over Zoom for the time being.
• The most difficult issue is still the bathrooms. We’re encouraging anyone who uses the bathroom to wipe down every surface they’ve touched. But the honor system is a difficult thing. So since you can never be sure if the person before you wiped everything down when they left, you’re encouraged to wipe everything down before you use it. And when you leave too! But doing it beforehand ensures that it’s clean You will find cleaning supplies in each stall and near the sinks.
• I want everyone to be aware that DPC’s session is continuing to watch Covid numbers in our area. Should they go back up, there is a chance that we will need to close again. Please be prepared for this to happen.
• Finally, please be aware that we will continue to offer YouTube services for anyone who is not yet comfortable attending in-person services. If for any reason at all, you are not comfortable attending, if you or someone you live with has a health condition that puts them at risk or if you feel even slightly sick or are running a fever, you are STRONGLY encouraged to stay connected via YouTube rather than joining us for in-person worship.

I am excited to see you all. And I am hopeful that we can start getting back to a more normal type of worship soon. Remember, the fastest way for us to start getting back to normal is for as many of us as possible to get vaccinated as soon as we can! This will make gathering safer for everyone!

Yours in Christ,
Pastor Nikki
