Pastor Michael Coulson
In light of recent announcements from the state, we strongly encourage the wearing of masks during the services unless medical conditions prevent you from doing so. The latest announcement from the state did not provide clarification for religious services like those in the past and we want to be obedient to God’s Word:
          Romans 13:5 - "Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of  
          conscience".
  • The pastor and worship leaders will take off masks only when on the platform. This will be done to aid those who are hearing impaired and require the reading of lips to be able to follow what is being said.
  • We will continue with our moving forward to a more normal style of worship with taking the offering, children's ministries, and communion. With wearing masks and the encouragement for all of you to bring your own bread, I believe we can safely allow those who wish to participate in communion the opportunity to do so. We will have wafers packaged in individuals bags for anyone who forgets their bread and would like to still participate. For this month, I will personally pass out communion so there is only one person doing it. 
I want to make it abundantly clear that no one should feel pressured to do anything they are not comfortable with doing yet whether it be taking communion during the church service or attending in person. Everybody has different situations regarding their own health, the health of those they live with, and the health of those they work with so gentleness, kindness, and grace will guide our thoughts and actions. God knows our hearts and our desire to grow in our relationship with Him.
I know how to respond to COVID-19 is a polarizing issue. My prayer is that we would keep our eyes focused on the Lord, on the calling that He has given each one of us, and the desire that He has for each one of us to grow in grace and knowledge in our relationships with Him.
