Cheney Congregational Church

Greetings! Cheney Congregational is currently hosting outdoor Sunday worship services in our parking lot at 8:30 a.m. 

We have developed a Covid-19 safety plan that is in compliance with guidelines set up by the state. Masks are required and we are using social distancing among other safety precautions. We will be meeting outside in our parking lot for the foreseeable future.

We encourage you to bring your own lawn chair, and we will have chairs provided. You are also welcome to pull up in your car to participate in the service through your car radio. If it is rainy then we will have the service broadcasting live to your car radio, so you can still come, park in the parking lot with everyone else and participate with us. We hope to see you there.

This is a difficult time for everyone. Our prayers and blessings go out to you.

Emmanuel Lutheran Church

Greeting from Emmanuel Lutheran Church. Although we cannot worship together as a congregation, we invite the West Plains community to access our website emmanuelcheney.org for weekly worship materials, sermon, and Zoom fellowship. If you should need pastoral support during this difficult time, please contact pastor Arianna Arends at 509-954-5886.

Emmanuel plans to gather for worship services two weeks after Spokane County opens Phase 3. Will update if plans change.

Our Free Community Pantry remains open to the community and all are invited to take what they need and leave what they can. Donations of non-perishable food and personal care items for all ages are greatly appreciated. Thank you for your continued support of this important ministry to our neighbors in need.

St. Paul’s Episcopal Church

A welcoming haven, nourishing all God’s people in body, mind and spirit. Rev. Kathryn Lamphere, our vicar, will preach and preside, offering Sunday Morning Prayer at 11 a.m.

All safety and sanitizing measures will be strictly observed, in particular wearing masks and keeping social distancing. All are welcome.

The memorial service in honor of our deceased priest, Rev. Christine Soule, is postponed, and will be rescheduled later, to be held at St. John’s Cathedral. We will keep you informed.

For your contemplation: “Do not think that saintliness comes from occupation; it depends rather on what one is. The kind of work we do does not make us holy, but we may make it holy.”

Meister Eckhart

United Methodist Church

“Think about what you think about” is the advice from Max Lucado’s book, Anxious for Nothing. And that is the message pastor Alissa Bertsch will preach on this week at the United Methodist Church.

The sermon is the continuation of a sermon series based on the book. While our doors remain closed at the church our worship is available online or with an at home worship guide. You can download the guide from the church website at http://www.cheneyumc.org.

You may also contact Bertsch at 509-879-2278 if you would like be added to our mailing list for a hard copy. Our doors may be closed but our hearts and minds remain open to all God has provided.
