It’s been over four months since the onset of the COVID-19 crisis. We’ve been continued meeting online in an abundance of caution in order to protect our members and our community and to comply with current guidelines for public meetings. Although it seemed we were headed in the direction of reopening, recent developments suggest that we may have a ways to go.
We continue to actively and prayerfully monitor the situation and will resume meeting in person at such time as it becomes clear to us that to do so will not endanger our congregation or community.
Our members have been maintaining fellowship through personal contact and online meetings. If you would like to participate in our online community, please contact us at gracechapelsocal@gmail.com for instructions as to how to join us.
It’s important for our personal health and safety as well that of our community that we continue to exercise caution during this time. It’s important that we avoid crowds, wear a mask in public, and continue to wash our hands frequently and use hand sanitizer. Faith in God and our concern for own personal freedom doesn’t negate the role of science and common sense in dealing with this pandemic. This is a time to be, in the words of scripture, “not weary in well doing.”
During this time, let’s continue to remain faithful in prayer. We continue to stand on the Word of God, knowing that Jesus is our healer, and we will continue to trust him to not only bring us through this season, but to beat back this virus and to bring healing to the nations. In the meantime, remember the words of the Apostle Paul:
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. –
Romans 12:12
May God bless you, strengthen you and encourage you. Stay safe!
–Pastor Charles Williams
