We are sure by now that you heard about President Trump's recent press conference where he declared that church services should be viewed by all the Governors as essential to the welfare of our country and that all churches should be allowed to open this weekend if they follow the CDC's guidelines.
While we were delighted to hear the President's stand on this subject, it quickly became clear that there would be a question as to whether the President or the Governors had the right to decide when churches should be allowed to open. We suspect there will be some clarification in the near future which will decide who has the authority.
In order to guard the physical health of our congregation, to make sure we are following the appropriate authority as God instructs us in I Peter 2:13-14, and to obey the spirit of how we are to respond to government as we read in I Timothy 2:2, the Church Board has decided to wait and see how the authorities sort things out over the next few weeks.
We are hopeful the President's actions will encourage Governors to move the process along more quickly. This may result in our Governor speeding up the phases he has outlined in our state.
Therefore, we will not be altering our current Sunday online service for now, but will eagerly share with you when we plan to begin on-site services again.
