  • 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. 
     
  • We are excited about gathering together tomorrow with those who are able to join us. We appreciate the work of the Deacons to get the Ministry Center prepared and sanitized. The service, though shorter than usual, will begin at 10:45am. As has been already stated, we do not wish to put any pressure to attend on those who are in high-risk situations or do not feel safe/comfortable in gathering at this time. Also, if you are experiencing symptoms of any type of illness, we would ask that you demonstrate love to your brothers and sisters by staying home. We will do all that we can to make sure the livestream is up tomorrow so that all may view the service at home.
    • You are not required to wear a mask for this service, but we have a supply of disposable masks available for those who prefer to wear one. Please show grace to those with different opinions than your own and welcome one another without quarreling.
    • Deacons will assist in directing us to available seating. We are planning to “fill” the upstairs before directing to the lower auditorium (regardless of where you park).
    • Even though we will be gathering and including music in our service, for now, we will not include congregational singing. We will have instrumental music accompanied with words on the screens, but the singing will be in our hearts to the Lord rather than breathed out from our lips. At the end of the service, there will also be a solo sung from the platform.
       
  • Special congratulations to Ruth Taylor, Christopher Meyer, and Landon Smith on completing all coursework for high school graduation. Though virtual services are better than nothing, we look forward to properly congratulating them in the future.

God bless you this weekend. Keep rejoicing in Christ!
