Wednesday Night "LIVE" Update - June 10

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

The planned reopening of our facility for Sunday morning worship will be July 12, 2020. While some may wonder why we are waiting so long, others may believe this is too soon. Unfortunately, no decision will please everyone and, no matter what we decide, it will be impossible to ensure anyone’s safety. No matter what we do, or when we do it, there will be a risk associated with it. It is unavoidable. All we can do is suggest guidelines that, if followed, should mitigate the risks.

Over the next few weeks, we are going to put together those guidelines. Please understand, these will be guidelines. We can’t force everyone to follow them. We can only do our best to make sure everyone who chooses to come to the facility for worship recognizes the risks and hopefully, as a result, chooses to follow the guidelines. But even if everyone follows the guidelines, there will be a risk associated with gathering for public worship. Some will believe the benefit to them of public worship outweighs the risks. Others will choose to stay home and continue to worship virtually. Whatever decision you choose to make is fine. But please understand, if you choose to come to the church facility to worship, there will be risks. We will try and give guidelines to mitigate the risk, but they will not remove it. So when we open for public worship on July 12, ultimately, it will be your choice whether you decide to come to the facility to worship, or stay home and worship with us virtually.

Tonight at 7:00PM we will have our Wednesday Night “LIVE” Bible Study. Tonight we will be looking at “The Exile Era”. A worksheet for the study is attached. When you print the worksheet, you can print it front and back.

You can watch the study and our Sunday morning Livestream:

1. From here on our church website.
