SUMC Home 2
Our leadership has been closely monitoring the ever-changing status of the COVID-19 in our area. Simpsonwood is committed to doing all we can to proactively protect and care for our congregation and community.
After much prayer and consideration, Simpsonwood will be following the guidance of the North Georgia Conference in regard to resuming in-person worship and activities. From the Conference:
In an attempt to provide consistency for decision making within the district and conference, we urge you and your congregation to do the following depending on your county’s risk level (“in-person gatherings” include worship, small groups/bible studies, and youth and children’s programming):
Red – No in-person gatherings and staff working remotely.
Orange – In-person gatherings held outdoors and staff working onsite while meeting local, state, and CDC guidelines.
Yellow – In-person gatherings can return indoors while meeting local, state, and CDC guidelines.
Green – Resume full operations.
The conference will be using this tool to determine the color level of each county.
Until it is safe for all of our congregation to resume worship together indoors, we will continue to provide our Virtual Sunday Worship Service.
Outdoor Worship at Simpsonwood will resume on Sunday, September 20!
Communion will be served at each Outdoor Worship Service.

Join us after service in our virtual GrowGroups! Come find out why GrowGroups are so much more than just another Sunday School class.
All adults are welcome- whether you’ve been a church member for years, or are just joining us. Feel free to try a couple of groups until you find the the right fit for growing your relationship with Christ.

The building lights may be off, the Lord’s light continues to shine bright at Simpsonwood! Just because we are physically apart doesn’t mean we can’t be together spiritually. Remember, Jesus said, “Where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them” (Matthew 18:20). Our church is our community, not our building.
Rev. John Purrington and the 8:45 Band will be bringing the power of worship straight to your homes with our Virtual Sunday Worship Service. You can catch our service beginning at 10:00am on Sunday mornings on our Facebook Page and our YouTube page.
