Welcome Back!

by Pastor Mike on March 1, 2021

Dear Church,

 

One year ago, last March we had to shut down our services due to the pandemic. We were scrambling, trying to figure out how to still communicate God’s message to the people. God gave James and his crew wisdom and praise God, His message kept going out. God taught us a lot through it all. We learned how precious life is and how we should not take it for granted. Thank God, He has seen us through it and hopefully we are coming out on the other side.
 

The covid cases are going down and more and more are getting the vaccine. We have seen an increase in church attendance over the last few weeks. We are very grateful for that. We feel like it is time to start Sunday School back. It will begin March 7. That same day, we will resume our Sunday night service along with Awana. On March 10, we will resume Wednesday night service.
 

Let me remind you again that the buildings are being   thoroughly cleaned and we have hand sanitizing stations at each entrance. Mask wearing is optional. We have every other pew marked off for safe distancing.
 

We are aware that everyone will not return at once but as soon as you are comfortable we would love to have you worship with us. Again if there is anything you need that we can help you with, call the office or your deacon and we will do all we can to help you.
 

This is the year of movement. We are not sitting still. This will be one, if not, the greatest year for moving forward in our church’s history.
 

I’ll close with this: This past Tuesday at War Room we had seventeen people who came to pray. God honors prayer. It is the place where the difference is made. Join us each Tuesday @ 6:00 pm.

 

Serving the Savior,

Pastor Mike
