COVID GUIDELINES

Because we meet at Oakley United Methodist, we follow the COVID guidelines from the Western North Carolina United Methodist Conference. You can find those details here. As of August 1st, 2021, we will be wearing masks indoors until further direction is given. We will have masks available for those who do not have them. Thanks for your cooperation.

For those who are currently suffering from Covid, we hold you in our prayers. For those who have lost loved ones from this disease, we pray God's peace will offer comfort during your time of grief. May we all work together to bring an end to this devastating pandemic.

Ecclesia's worship style is not easy to label. 

• We sing hymns, but we don't have traditional hymnals.
• We set up and take down our worship setting each week.
• Usually, our pastor preaches from the Revised Common Lectionary.
• We read scripture twice in every service and we stand for the Gospel reading.
• Our band members are excellent, gifted musicians, but are all volunteers. 
• Some of us wear traditional Sunday clothes; others come in gym shorts and t-shirts..
• Each week, our pastor reads a children's story to the kids during worship.

Overall, Ecclesia's worship aims to proclaim God's inescapable love for humanity and to express gratitude for God's infinite mercy and grace. Ecclesia is both one-of-a-kind and comfortably familiar. Come see for yourself . . . because we love you already! And there's nothing you can do about it!
