UNITED METHODIST CHURCH

Coronavirus/COVID-19 Update

Out of concern for our community, at the request of the Alabama West-Florida Conference of The United Methodist Church, and based on the latest information available from governmental agencies, our church is suspending ALL gatherings on church grounds (including small groups, and community-based meetings) until at least the end of March.

As of this Sunday our worship service will move to online streaming via Facebook at 9:20AM.

Let me encourage you to join us for this time of worship, and to worship freely with us as you feel led. Because many may face the temptation to “take a break” during this trying time, let me assure you that your participation will be of vital importance.

UNTIL WE ARE ABLE TO GATHER AGAIN:

As an act of mercy toward others, practice personal hygiene. Wash your hands often, and stay home if you are sick.

Pray. Pray for those affected, for those employed in healthcare, for God to protect us against further spread of this virus.

Show Christ to others. During this time of high stress remember to show kindness, love, and patience to all.

Remember the words Jesus spoke in Mark 5:36. "Don't be afraid; just believe."

Friends, this may get a bit worse before it begins to get better, but rest assured, it will get better! Continue to pray, as I know you will, and remember that God is good, all the time! And all the time, God is good!
