Due to the rising rates of illness in our community and a potential exposure to Covid-19 in our congregation, we have decided to suspend in person activities, including Sunday worship services, in our church for the next 10 days (11/17-11/27) effective immediately. We will provide an update regarding service on 11/29 and other upcoming events next week. We appreciate your support and understanding.
We will continue to live stream our 10:30am service

A Letter from the Pastor
Good afternoon GFM church family. In cooperation with the State of Michigan, Grayling Free Methodist church will be closed to all public activities effective immediately and until further notice. Each Sunday the worship team will live stream our 9:30 worship service to our Grayling Free Methodist Church Facebook page. We will also record the worship and message to this page so you can access it anytime you want.
During this time we encourage you to connect with others by phone, text, or emails with your church friends, small group, Sunday school class, or pastoral staff. In fact we encourage you through this time to make the effort to pray with at least one person from the church each and every day. Do it to encourage yourself and others.
We are not abandoning ministry during this time. The pastoral staff will make themselves available to you by phone, text or email. We would love to pray with you. If you are ill please let us know. If you are quarantined during this time, please let us know. While we are not sure how to accomplish this at this time, we will attempt to keep you supplied. If you are aware of people in our community who need our help, would you either let us know or encourage them to contact us. If you would like to help us minister to the body or community, please contact us. We covet your help. If you are at risk we ask that you care for yourself by keeping a low profile during this time. Please stay away from people who are ill, and as much as we all love children, you may need to limit your contact at this time.
Another way we will minister to you is with a stronger Facebook and Church Website presence. There will be a thought for the day and several devotionals each week. Again, if you need anything, even if it is just encouragement or the need to hear from one of your pastors, please contact us.
We would also like to encourage you to support the church financially through this time. You can either send your financial support through the online giving information at graylingfmc.org or send it via the mail to Grayling Free Methodist Church PO Box 397, Grayling, MI 49738.
While our Sunday Worship and our midweek programs normally keep us connected, this is a special season of life. We still need to keep connected, maybe even more so than normal. So please be intentional. Call someone, use your texting abilities, use email. If this concern is realized to the extent that our government leaders expect, many of the people around us, and perhaps many of us, will need to experience your love and concern.
Praying for you, Trusting you are praying for us,
Pastor Bob
