Hi Everyone,
We truly had a wonderful service this morning; what a blessing. You can access the video immediately with the link above.
I do not have the audio ready for upload; probably tomorrow (Monday). I am using new software for the first time this week, and so it has taken me longer than usual. This will be better long term but for right now I do not have the audio file for upload.
Also, I do have the DVDs burned and ready to be delivered tomorrow with the study sheets. This will be in the afternoon as we have our board meeting in the morning.
Pastor Dave
Hi Everyone,
Yay! Sunday church at 10 am. Here is this week’s bulletin.
Pastor Dave
Hi Everyone,
Well, here is the big news. We are resuming Sunday church on June 7. Isn’t it interesting … We prayed that we could begin having Sunday church again on June 7, and our Lord answered that prayer. Praise be to God from whom all blessings flow.
I sent in a previous email the document that shows we are now legally exempt and free from the stay-at-home order and its regulations. Here is that information again.
4. Exemptions. (This is found on page eight of the document.)
a. Free exercise of religion. This Executive Order does not limit the free exercise of religion. To protect the health and safety of faith leaders, staff, congregants and visitors, religious organizations and houses of worship are encouraged to consult and follow the recommended practices and guidelines from the Illinois Department of Public Health.3As set forth in the IDPH guidelines, the safest practices for religious organizations at this time are to provide services online, in a drive-in format, or outdoors(and consistent with social distancing requirements and guidance regarding wearing face coverings), and to limit indoor services to10 people. Religious organizations are encouraged to take steps to ensure social distancing, the use of face coverings, and implementation of other public health measures.
Please know that if you do not feel comfortable in coming to church at this time that we—your brothers and sisters in Christ—understand, and more importantly, our Lord understands. Each of us needs to bring this before the Lord in prayer and let him lead. No one needs to feel guilty about staying home if this is what God has put on your heart. These are wild and crazy times and our Lord knows who and what we are.
In the Love of our Coming Lord and King,
Pastor Dave
