Dear Church Family and Friends,
Last night, your officers met and reluctantly agreed to cancel in-person worship and ministry activities through the end of March. Between this and the reports we are receiving on the current public health emergency, it’s likely that it may be some time before many of us will see each other in person.
There are some of us whose lives are being changed dramatically, while others of us are experience few changes except for the long lines and supply chain hiccups at HEB. During these uncertain times, you can be comforted that the Lord is with you. He promises that he will never leave you or forsake you. And he invites you to cast your cares upon him, for he cares for you.
The church office will be sending out information on our live streamed worship which will take place on Sunday at 11 AM and 5 PM.
Knowing that many of you are going to spend significantly more time at home than normal, here are some resources and things that may be of interest to you.
