FRIDAY, 11/20/20 – MAJOR SCHEDULE CHANGES
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1)
After much prayer, consultation with medical professionals, and much thought, I have made the decision to go live stream only with our services for the next two Sundays, November 22 and 29. A password will NOT be needed to access the live stream. The live service will begin at 10:30AM. This will be different in the fact that the live stream will feature preaching only. There will be no musical worship as we are trying to limit the number folks interacting with one another.
So, no bus ministry service, no Sunday School, no Spanish service, no evening activities, nothing on our campus.
The church office will remain closed until Monday, November 30. I am in town and will be available in the event of an emergency.
There will be no services/activities on our campus on Wednesday, November 25.
So, why the change? There has been a significant increase in positive test results in South Mobile County over the past week or so. Everything in me wants to just keep going but I am trying to be proactive in slowing the spread of the virus. Is it the right decision? Depends on one’s definition of right. Will everyone agree with this decision? Hello! I learned a long time ago that “leaders lead, they do not take opinion polls” so I am doing what I feel is best for the Friendship family at this time. We may not all agree but we can all pray fervently!
It is very important that we not forget the giving aspect of the ministry. I ask you to prayerfully consider giving online or to place your offering (no cash) in the mail.
Please help pass the word regarding these changes.
I pray that you will have a great Friday with Jesus.
