Beginning in March of this year our nation was transformed from a normal way of life to a very scary and uncertain way of life. It still amazes me how sports, business, schools, and even churches shut their doors. The media plastered frightening statistics daily and captivated our attention. During this time I prayed and asked God to direct me in what I should do. I wanted to honor the governor’s executive order, so I did. I never locked our doors. I asked the worship team if they would still come and help with service from our sanctuary. They agreed, and this kept us to the 10 people rule. As the weeks went by people ask me if they could come. I said of course, the doors will be unlocked for whoever wants to be here. We took out two-thirds of our seats to allow spacing. As the weeks went by more and more came back. We are still not at full count, but about two-thirds of our congregation is back.
We are taking another step. Beginning this Sunday we will be having our services in the fellowship hall. This is a bigger space with more exit doors which allow for more spacing. We also are streaming all our services on Facebook live. I want to invite you to join us on location or via Facebook. We will continue to move forward with the ministry as God leads. I want to thank all of you who have continued to financially support us through this difficult season. God bless you all!
During this time all services are streamed live on our FB Page “Living Word Ministries of Statesville.” Scroll down to view.
