Dear Church,

Blessings to you wherever you find yourself reading this. Near or far, we pray that you are doing well, and we want you to know that you are loved by an amazing God. This community has always placed an emphasis on being the beloved, and we continue to do so now.

This Sunday, April 14 we are having an all-church meeting after service. This will be an important meeting to discuss both where the community currently stands, and what the future might look like. We hope you'll be able to join us! If you are unable to join us in-person, a zoom link will be available for this important meeting - you can use the same Zoom information as for Sunday morning.

This meeting is a response to, and fulfilled promise of, the congregation's desire for more frequent updates and information. We will give a brief financial overview/update, and an overview of what this means for us as a community.

Though this meeting might include some hard conversations and realities, we know that Hot Metal has gone through times like this before. And every time, God was faithful and was with us - and we believe that He is still faithful and with us now.

Please know that council is working tirelessly to pray, think, and discern next steps for our community. As always, we covet your ideas, encouragement, prayers - and this Sunday - your engagement.

In Christ,

-Council
