Greetings! I’m returning with a weekly update this week because of a change in our situation here in Illinois.
We are suspending in person worship through December 13th. That may end up being extended, and I will have that information as soon as it is available.
Due to an increase in cases across the state, we are doing our part to do no harm, do good, and stay in love with God by suspending in person services. This is not an easy decision, but I know that local health officials are worried about overwhelming the hospital system here in the area. With an increase in Coronavirus hospitalizations, we run the risk of all health services being slowed down and delayed. To do our part, we are helping to lead by example. To do the most we can to help our community, we will worship apart for now. We have online worship available in video, audio, and in a print version. I pray that we will see cases go down again so that we may resume in person worship.
I do want to give a special thanks to all of you that have been a part of our in-person services. Everyone has been doing a wonderful job of following the best safety practices and showing a love for each other that way. I am proud of you all, and thankful for all of you.
If you know someone who would like to receive printed information every week, please let me know. If you come to this online, feel free to share it.
The church is still active and working, and as such, still needs your financial support. Please contact me or the church treasurer for options. Thank you for your continued support.
Please see the CDC website for information on the Coronavirus or the IDHP website for information about the current Illinois situation and restrictions.
Please stay safe. You are all in my prayers. I will keep you updated as best I can. If you have any questions, feel free to contact your Church Council Chair or myself.
