East Sanctuary Worship for Higher Risk
SEPT 13, 2020 @ 8:00 AM EAST SANCTUARY
Out of a desire to create a welcoming environment for all people to encounter God's presence in worship, Frazer is offering a special worship service starting Sept. 13 on Sunday mornings at 8am in the East Sanctuary. These services are designed to go above and beyond standard protocols for those who may consider themselves at higher risk of complications from COVID-19. For more information on what to expect and how to register to attend, click the link below.

Traditional & Contemporary In-Person & Online Worship Details
SEPT 13, 2020 @ 9:30AM - NOON
In-Person Worship: Frazer will reopen for in-person worship on Sept. 13. Traditional Worship will take place at 9:30am in the Sanctuary. Contemporary Worship will take place at 11am in Wesley Hall. We will follow all state and local ordinances regarding masks, and, more importantly, we want to follow the Law of Christ, which is to love my neighbor as myself. Right now, one of the ways we love our neighbors is by wearing a face covering, especially when we are singing. Remember, the mask isn’t really there to protect you, but to reduce the risk for others. If you happen to forget your mask, we’ll have some extras on hand. Here a few other things to note concerning in-person worship:
- Enter through one of three doors—the front by the Church Office, or either end of the Atrium.
- As you enter, we’ll check your temperature and someone will sign you in. Stay home if you have fever or any other symptoms of illness.
- Once inside, we’ll maintain social distancing of six feet between households.
Online Worship: Traditional Worship will resume live streaming at 9:30am, and Contemporary Worship will resume live streaming at 11am.
- Tune in to WSFA 12 or WFRZ 13 TV at 9:30am for the Traditional Worship
- Tune in to WFRZ 13 TV at 11am for the Contemporary Worship
- Download the Frazer Channel on your Roku, AppleTV, or Amazon FireTV streaming device to also tune in live at those times.
- Watch on our website.
- Watch on Facebook live.

Frazer to Shift Food Service Model
Frazer’s Lead Team and Staff-Parish Relations Committee (SPRC) announced this week a difficult but necessary restructuring of our staff with regard to Food Services in order to keep our budget strong and aligned to our ministry priorities.
Participation in meals prepared by the Frazer Kitchen has been declining for years, largely because the way families prefer to eat in today’s society has changed. Whereas at one time churchwide meals paid for themselves, over the past five years Frazer’s Food Services area has operated at a substantial and increasing loss. As a result, it is no longer sustainable to maintain a full time Kitchen Staff.
Instead, it was decided that the better way to steward the funds entrusted to the church will be to use outside catering as needed for events. Volunteer teams will continue to have the opportunity to use the kitchen facilities under the coordination of the Church Administrator.
The decision to release staff members did not come lightly. “We celebrate the excellent work of our Food Services team,” said Church Administrator Bob Wood. A generous severance package has been extended by the SPRC to those whose positions were discontinued.
“Sharing meals together has always been a part of Christian tradition, and it always will be,” said Senior Pastor Chris Montgomery. “I’m thankful for the food ministries that have brought us together in the past, and I’m also thankful for leaders who have the courage to adapt to the present so that we can continue to invest in fruitful ministries in the future.”

Small Group Leader Training

If you think God may be calling you into this area of ministry, make plans to attend the virtual new leader training on Sept. 9 at 8pm via Zoom.
