  • Sermons, Wednesday Bible studies, Afternoon Meditations, and Announcement videos have been posted to our Facebook page and our YouTube channel. We trust that these are an encouragement to you. 
     
  • Once again we have 2 separate services. The first (with music and a message) should be available around Saturday evening and the second (with a reading of the book of Ephesians) should be available by Noon on Sunday.
    • Links for the sermon outline as well as the song lyrics will be included below and also will be part of the video descriptions in both Facebook and Youtube. We will also put the hymn lyrics on the screen to keep things together.
  • Leadership announcement regarding re-gathering plan:
    As we look forward to meeting together again, we are also looking to our governing authorities for guidance as to when and how this would best take place. At this point, Gov. DeWine has not given any further clarification on church gatherings, but he has given an indication of an expected timeline easing restrictions in other venues. With that in mind, our church leadership has determined that we will open the ministry center for corporate worship on Sunday, May 17. In the meantime, we will continue to follow any developments in the progress of our state’s re-opening and will adjust accordingly to the latest guidelines and recommendations since it is our desire to both maintain a blameless testimony before our community and God-ordained authorities and be good stewards of the full extent of our ministry. There will obviously be some extra precautions taken and different protocols put into place, so rest assured that both the spiritual and physical health of our church is of utmost importance to us. We do plan to give more details next week regarding the specifics of May 17, so please pray for our pastors, elders, and deacons as they seek wisdom in both the modifications and preparations needed for safe resumption of our church services. 
     
  • Birthday reminder:

  • Even though we can’t gather at the ministry center, remember it is only the center—ministry is supposed to spread outside of these walls. Ministry is still happening and I encourage you to consider some fresh ways in which you can minister in your sphere of influence. Also, you can try these out to reach out to us with status updates, praises, and prayer requests.

God bless you this weekend. Keep rejoicing in Christ!
