In the present circumstances, for the health and safety of the staff and leadership of the Ewing-Covenant Worshipping Community, effective Thursday, March 26, the Church Office will be closed to all meetings until further notice. The Outer Vestibule of the Office Building will be left open so that necessary items may be dropped off and mail can be picked up. Those needing to access the inner office in order to carry out their responsibilities may do so by scheduling a time with our Office Manager, Eileen Beirne. We are doing this in order to allow physical distancing, and to keep there from being more than two people in the office at one time.
The voice mail will be checked on a regular basis, and members of the church staff will be present on an as necessary basis. As we are able, we will work to enable all staff to work from home. I regret that this may cause difficulty for some, and ask for the grace of understanding during this time.
Rev. Paul Rhebergen, Transitional Pastor

Pastor’s Log march 25, 2020
Greetings to all our brothers and sisters of the separation,
I give thanks to God for the reality that we all are sharing this experience. As one of us fears, we all know fear; as one of us finds times of joy, we all will find shared moments of joy; as one suffers, we all suffer; as one rejoices, so do we all because of the presence of the Spirit that draws us as one together in the love of God.
Pastor Ann and I, and all our Elders and Deacons continue to be at work to make the ties of our faith real for all of you. We encourage you to welcome the calls, and let us know how you are doing in this difficult time. Our Session met via Zoom last night. We were in prayer for all of you, and this nation and God’s world. Here are some decisions made at that meeting:
The Ewing-Covenant Worshiping Community shall continue to gather on-line for the foreseeable future. That includes during Holy Week, on Easter, and until the guidance of the State and the Township would allow the Session to decide otherwise.
To that end we are working to improve our worship experience. You will find the information below and through our Constant Contact emails on how to join our worship this Sunday.
The Session also decided that our facilities would continue to be closed to all meetings and gatherings, except to staff and leadership for necessary work. Please call or email the church office if you need to drop anything off, or pick anything off, so that arrangements can be made for that. The office will be staffed at different times, but will be closed for personal visits.
You will receive emails with the invitation to join Sunday Morning Worship, Sam Bonnor’s 9:00, Sunday morning Bible Study, and Zoom meetings/conversations that Ann and I will be holding.

For Pastor Ann’s Thursday Evening Conversation –Thursday, April 2, 7:00 – 8:00, look for your email invitation
Here are a few other things for you to note.
If you would like to have a copy of the Glory to God Hymnal with you at home during our time of distancing, you are invited to contact the church office, and we will make arrangements to have one dropped off for you.
Plans are underway to provide a way for food to be dropped off at the church so that it can be distributed to Head Start Families, the families cared for by the Eastern Social Workers, and to other food pantries meeting the needs of families in this time. We will let everyone know as soon as the plan is set. As you order your food, as you make those very careful trips to the stores, perhaps purchase a bit extra for others. Both nonperishable and perishable items will be accepted.
Please remember that our Worshiping Community will continue to need your financial support during this time. Your gifts, your tithes, your offering envelopes will continue to support us through this challenge. Your contributions can be mailed to the church office, or dropped through the mail slot in the door of the church office. You can also contribute to the Ewing Church online through the congregation’s website, ewingchurch.org, or use the more efficient route of arranging for your bank to make a direct deposit to the church. This would allow you to make regular contributions from your account to the church’s. If you are interested in this, please contact the church office and we will provide more information.
May the Lord watch between us while we are absent, one from another.
