Churches

Cheney Congregational Church

We have made the decision to suspend in-person Sunday morning worship for the time being. This is a difficult decision, and we make it with the whole Cheney community in mind. We will continue to host live Sunday morning services on Zoom at 10 a.m. You can request a Zoom link through our website, http://www.cheneycongregational.org.  You can find copies of the sermons on our website. 

We are also hosting outdoor “Fireside Chats” with groups of five to create social connection and combat the isolation of this season. If you are interested in joining one of these outdoor get-togethers around a fire, email pastor Matt Goodale at [email protected]. 

These are difficult times for many of us. Our prayers go out to you all. May you know God's love and God's peace during this season.

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 when Spokane County moves to Phase 3. Update will be printed here if Emmanuel’s 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 Holy Eucharist. Because of the pandemic, the service will be an abbreviated version but includes all the necessary prayers, beginning every Sunday morning at 11 a.m. The congregation will receive the bread and wine at this time. 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.

United Methodist Church

Please join us in worship this week at the United Methodist Church. Pastor Alissa Bertsch will be preaching on the transfiguration of Christ. The service is available on line or with an at home worship guide available on the church website, 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 of the worship service. 

While our doors remain closed, our hearts and hands are open in worship and in mission. Won’t you join us as we continue Christ's work?
