Beloved,
I pray this finds you and your loved ones well. I have what I consider to be wonderful and hopeful news.
Plans and preparations are nearing completion for us to return to Sunday morning worship in our sanctuary beginning the first Sunday in May, May 2 at 9:30. Some important facets of our getting together include: wearing face masks, observing social distancing, avoiding physical contact, hand sanitizing, and the cleanliness of the facilities. There are strict guidelines that we must follow to ensure the good health of all who come. Thank you in advance for adhering to them. More and more of us are receiving our vaccines which certainly adds to the safety of our environment, though is not required for attendance. If you are not feeling well we respectfully request that you continue to worship from home as all our services will still be available online through our website, gdlcsj.com, and online at Youtube and Facebook.
This has been a difficult year and you probably, like me, yearn to worship and fellowship together once again. We will do everything we can to make our setting and practices safe for all who choose to come. May God be blessed in our worship and praise, and may we continue to grow as disciples who are able to make disciples who make disciples. For God's glory and in Jesus' name.
Power to you,
Pastor Pat
