Current Service Information

FYI: Guidelines for Drive-In Service (when necessary)
We are currently on our normal service schedule!

Due to the high number of new COVID cases in our community & Church, the Church leadership is implementing our Drive-In Worship Service once again until further notice as a proactive approach to dealing with this very real threat. (We will re-evaluate weekly) Announcements will be made via Facebook, this website, email, and the newsletter.

We will have one service at 8:30 AM.
We are making it possible to come to church and not even have to get out of your car. Just drive up, tune your radio to FM 107.7, or roll down your window, and you will experience an abbreviated worship service (approximately 45 minutes) including singing, prayers, communion, offering, and a timely message.
Please bring your own communion bread, cracker, and any type of juice to partake together.
If you are not able to attend, we will record the service and post it to YouTube and send the link to Facebook later in the day.

Outline:

Diamonds In the Rough

You and I are diamonds in the rough! Given enough time & pressure we will be like a diamond, revealing the glory of God. (Rom. 7:19, 24-25; 2 Cor. 5:16-17) It is often confusing to us as Christians when we try to understand the sinful side of sainthood. A better understanding of Biblical terms will assist us in comprehending who we are and pave the way for greater spiritual maturity. The dramatic changes that took place when we were born-again:

I. From Flesh to Spirit
- Rom. 8:5-9; Gal.5:16-23 – Which do we live according to?
- We are Spiritual beings who will live forever!

II. From Death to Life
- 1 Cor.15:22; Col. 2:13; Rom 6:23 We were dead in our sins & the consequences of sin
-We have been “Brought from death to life…” Rom. 6:13
- We WERE NOT SAVED: By our Pedigree, Performances, Plan or Program, Position, Possessions, Praise & Press, Passion & Piety, Penitence. We WERE SAVED: By the Pardon of God - Eph. 2:4-5
- We are also now dead to sin - Rom. 6:11; John 11:25

III. From Darkness to Light
- We are no longer cave dwellers – groping for direction, hope, comfort. We Are Children of Light! Eph. 5:8 Why would we want to go back into a black hole? We don’t belong there! Col. 1:13; 1 Thess. 5:5; Matt. 5:14; John 9:5
- We are a Solar Panel not a Nuclear Power Plant - Will we show forth Jesus light and help others still in the dark? Rom. 13:12; Matt. 5:16; Acts 26:17-18

IV. From Old to New
- We become new in many ways - Ez. 36:26; 2 Cor. 5:16-17; 1 Pet. 1:3
  - Becoming a new Creation affects the way we live – What will we put on and put off? Eph. 4:22-24; Col. 3:9-10

V. From Slave to Free
- Every one of us is a slave in the spiritual sense- who is our Master? Rom. 1:1; James 1:1; John 8:34
- We have been set free from sin, habitual sin, & the consequences of sin - Rom. 6:18, 22

Like the Apostle Paul who spoke of “doing the evil he didn’t want to do” – We also often fail and sin. But we are: Saints that sin. Don’t forget that! We are God’s Diamonds in the Rough who are growing more like Christ!

Guidelines for When We Reopen Church Buildings

We are CURRENTLY meeting with few restrictions! We ask that if you are running a fever or have been exposed to COVID, please worship with us online that Sunday. Thank you!

We are excited to get back into our buildings for worship! However, with getting back into the buildings come some inherent social distancing risks and we want to do everything possible to eliminate and/or reduce these. Therefore the following guidelines have been adopted for our regathering in the buildings:

Seating: Contemporary: In order to ensure social distancing, we will have chairs and tables along with “sets” of chairs set up beforehand. You will be able to sit with family and/or friends with whom you are in contact with. We ask that if you come alone or just with one other person to please be seated in our chair section and leave the tables and chairs for bigger families unless you are already socializing closely with these friends. Traditional: We will be taping off every other pew, so please space out on the pews in order to maintain social distancing unless you are with family and/or friends you are currently socializing closely with.

Fellowship: Fellowship and sharing with one another is of course welcomed, however, must take place following social distancing protocol. Please avoid handshakes, hugs, or other forms of contact to minimize possible spread. (You may feel comfortable doing so, but remember others may not.) “Air” high fives and nodding of heads is encouraged.

Communion and Offering: We have purchased the “Fellowship Cups” with loaf and cup combined. They will be on tables at each entry door and will be placed there by someone wearing gloves. Please take one as you enter. An offering box is in the usual spot for Contemporary Service and offering trays will be at each door for Traditional Service.

Contemporary Breakfast: To avoid unnecessary contact, we will not be offering coffee, juice, or breakfast items. You are welcome to bring your own coffee and/or breakfast for you and/or your family.

Nursery, Toddlers, and Junior Church: Currently, we are not offering our Nursery, Toddlers' Class, nor Junior Church. We will reevaluate these services accordingly. As always, kids are welcome in our service!

Masks: Masks are encouraged but not required. There will be some masks available if you forgot yours!

Cleaning: Before each service, special cleaning and sterilizing will be done of the church building. The front door will be left open until the start of service and left open at the conclusion of the service so that you do not have to handle the doors.

Hand Sanitizer: There will be hand sanitizer available at the front doors for both services.

Precaution Before You Come: If you are running a fever or have been exposed to Covid-19 please worship with us online.

Alternative Option: If you and/or your family do not yet feel safe or comfortable to attend in person at this point, we understand. The service will be available on the Church’s YouTube page by Sunday night and Facebook page Monday morning.
