A statement from our pastor, Randy Cooper
Cancelling Assembled Worship for July 5th:
Loving Greetings to you, my church family. I need to share with you that after consulting with a number of our elected church leaders and lying awake in the wee hours of the morning for the last two nights, I have decided to cancel in-person, assembled worship for this coming Sunday, July 5th. At this time we will not set a date for returning to our sanctuary for Sunday worship.
As pastor to this family and shepherd to this flock, I take responsibility for this decision. I am not saying that my decision is definitely the correct one. I also can imagine the disappointment that many of you feel, and I am well aware that other churches in our community are less restrictive than we have been. Yet with Covid-19 cases rising in our county, I simply cannot step away from our fundamental gospel commitment to love one another and our neighbors.
No one is more concerned about our not being together than I. Not assembling for worship, Sunday School, and our many other ministries strikes at the heart of our life as the Body of Christ. Our absence from one another can pose a genuine threat to our identity as fellow members of Christ’s Body, if we’re not mindful.
In the face of that threat, let us keep in mind that early Christians could not have conceived of their life apart from being members of God’s family. The two kindred New Testament themes of citizenship in the Kingdom of God and of becoming members of God’s household who are adopted into God’s family can hardly be overemphasized.
If we need one gift from God during this time, we need patience. Patience is not a personality trait or a general disposition. Patience is a gift from God. Patience is God’s taking time for us. In the cross and resurrection of Jesus, we behold God’s infinite patience toward his world. I call upon us to pray for God to give us patience toward one another in these challenging and confusing days.
Our online video of worship for July 5th will be available on Facebook and our church website by mid-afternoon this coming Saturday. No one will be receiving Holy Communion this Sunday.
How important it is to encourage one another! Grace and Peace.
Pastor Randy Cooper
