Moving in the Right Direction |
|
I am very thankful to the Lord that we made the decision to regather as a church on July 5. That was not an easy decision, as the progress of the pandemic was impossible to predict. We have always said that we want to regather as soon as possible and as safely as we can. Some churches have stated that they are not going to reopen until 2021! But having regard to the importance of gathering together as commanded in Scripture, with wisdom we wanted to regather.
Increasingly, people have come for the worship services at 8:30 and 11:00 AM. Commencing on Sunday, September 27 at 11:00 AM, we will reopen limited classes for babies, toddlers, and children through Kindergarten with preregistration. Praise God for our dedicated staff in Children’s Ministry and our many volunteers! Children in 1st grade and up will continue worshiping with their families in the Sanctuary.
It is exciting to see our Middle School and High School Ministries are now meeting on Wednesday evenings for REGROUP. And on selected Tuesday evenings, beginning September 29, we will once again be teaching our gradeschool children (1st through 5th grade) at The Zone.
Most of us are getting “Zoom fatigue,” but I encourage you to participate in your Life Group, Wednesday electives, and Bible studies, which are offered on Zoom. I know it’s not the same as meeting in person, but it is a way of continuing to be spiritually edified and encouraged. Let’s continue to pray that soon we will be able to revert to our normal schedule.
