Pine Grove United Methodist Church – Building community with our neighbors to better serve Jesus together

Pine Grove United Methodist Church, pastored by Rev. Marilyn Weiler, is a member of the Yadkin Valley District of the Western North Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church.

Nestled among the pine trees of Jonestown Road in Western Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Pine Grove UMC is convenient to locations throughout the Triad.

What does it mean to be a “New Creation”? We all yearn for renewal–but are we willing to pursue it? How is our own personal renewal connected to “new creation” in others, in our communities, and in the world itself? “Tending” means to lean in the direction of something—to “attend” to something is to nurture it, grow it, build it, pay “attention!” So this is what we will do on the 8 week journey, beginning July 11, toward the New Creation Christ in-tends for us!

One of the adaptations we will need to make is how we worship together in the Sanctuary. We were excited to hear the news from the CDC that for fully vaccinated people normal activities could resume. However, not all of our members have been able to be vaccinated and in solidarity with them and for their protection, we will continue to follow the mask and physical distance protocols. Please take note of these specific items:
1-We will begin seating worshippers in “family groups” at 10:45. Please wait at your car until you can take a turn on the porch. Please keep 6 feet apart as you wait.
2-The ushers will fill the sanctuary from the front starting with the pews 16’ from the altar rail. They will then alternate center aisle and side aisle in a staggered manner. At the end of the service, we will exit at the direction of the ushers starting in the back.
3-The restrooms on the Fellowship Hall side of the narthex will be available for use.
4-There will be a basket for Crisis Control offerings and one for monetary offerings behind the last pew to the right as you come into the sanctuary.
5-During the service, you may participate in the liturgy softly and may hum along with the music leaders.
6-When Holy Communion is served, Pastor Marilyn will come to you in the pews with the elements
