Aurora's Flowing Forth UMC to host second of three drive-in services
On Sunday, Aug. 1, Flowing Forth United Methodist Church in Aurora will hold the second of three monthly drive-in services.
The Rev. Derek Rogers, pastor, said outdoor services - weather permitting - are set for 10 a.m. on Aug. 1 and Sept. 5. The location is Aurora Christian Schools parking lot, 2255 Sullivan Road in Aurora. The public is invited to worship in their vehicles or set up lawn chairs.
In case of inclement weather, and between outdoor services, worship is held in-person in the Aurora Christian School theater room.
On Aug. 1, the Rev. Rogers will continue his sermon series, "Faith on the Outside."
Services will not be live streamed but will be available online. Communion is celebrated with prepackaged elements.
A freewill collection is taken. Pandemic protocols include limited seating and wearing facial masks when singing hymns.
Rev. Rogers said, "Being a Christian isn't just a feeling we have in our hearts or a set of beliefs we affirm in our heads, it is a way of life lived. It's easy to call ourselves followers of Jesus, but it's more difficult to actually grow closer to God where our faith shows on the outside in all that we say and do."
"If we're honest, we can all admit that we have room to grow to look and act more like Christ in our everyday life," Rev. Rogers said.
