The Return: Phase One

As we re-gather on May 31, 2020, it will be the first time we have gathered as a congregation in our sanctuary in over two months. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become obvious that we cannot “just pick back up where we left.” We all desire to get back to a place that feels normal, but we must recognize that this is a process. We further must recognize that all people do not have the same feelings and response to the spread of this virus. As such, we want to treat all of our brothers and sisters with grace and compassion, regardless of their perception of this pandemic. This is why we will not only be having our 8:30 a.m. service in our sanctuary, but we will be continuing a 10:00 a.m. drive-in service, as well as streaming our 8:30 service on Facebook and our website. This way, despite your level of comfort or anxiety, we believe we have a worship service where you can be involved and blessed. By doing so, we are attempting to fulfill the scriptures in 1 Corinthians 9:22 – “To the weak I became weak, in order to win the weak. I have become all things to all people, so that I may by every possible means save some” and 1 Corinthians 8:13 – “Therefore, if food causes my brother or sister to fall, I will never again eat meat, so that I won’t cause my brother or sister to fall.” With guidance from these and other scriptures, it is our desire to be supportive and understanding with our brothers and sisters in Christ.
During this First Phase of re-gathering, we want provide you with some guidance and suggestions for our in-person worship service. As part of providing a Spirit-led worship experience, we believe it is our duty to do our best to be compliant with governmental authority (Romans 13:1). We ask that you do your best to follow these guidelines, while using good judgment and discretion. To access these guidelines, head to our Facebook or website. Thank you again, and God is still in control!
