(COVID-19) Coronavirus Update :
The Elders met this week to discuss the possibility of re-opening the church. We all agreed that we miss the fellowship with our church family and desire to see each of you again. However, we certainly understand the risks that the pandemic has created, especially for those of us who are elderly.
After some discussion, we agreed to start Wednesday night prayer meeting on May 27th and Sunday morning worship service on May 31st, which is also Great Commission Sunday. The focus of our discussion was on the health and safety of our congregation. Therefore, we have decided on the following safety measures to implement during each service:
1) The wearing of masks is optional. No one should feel embarrassed to wear a mask as it may become the norm for sometime now as we try to get through the pandemic.
2) We will have a designated entry and exit process that we ask all to follow. In this regard, we will have the doors open so no one has to touch them. Attendees will be asked to only enter through the single door in the fellowship area next to the sanctuary. There will be a hand sanitizing station there for your use.
3) When entering the sanctuary, we ask couples/family to sit at least six feet apart from other couples/family. We will have the sanctuary arranged so this can be accomplished. Social distancing should be maintained when fellowshipping before and after the service too.
4) After the service attendees will only exit through the double doors of the sanctuary.
5) We request no handshaking or hugging for now.
6) Finally, there will be a disclaimer posted that you should read upon entering the building.
We know these things are difficult for such a loving family like our church family to endure but request that we all abide by these policies, at least for now. But one day, we all will get those hugs and handshakes again. Should you feel uncomfortable with returning to church at this time due to underlying health reasons or other risk factors, we will certainly understand. The Pastor will continue to do the Sunday morning videos posted to our web site and Facebook page. Should you have any questions, feel free to contact the Elders or the Pastor.

March 1, 2020 visiting Missionaries John and Betty Arnold, shared about their mission work in the country of Burkina Faso. Water is Life!
We had the joy of having John and Betty Arnold, missionaries with the Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA) and Engage Burkina at our church. They are home on leave from Burkina Faso a result of terrorists attacks in the African country. John has a heart for bush evangelism, helping with the building of wells, roofing churches and pastors’ homes, and working with American work team members. Betty loves entertaining and often has a house full of people.
Burkina Faso is located in West Africa, with Mali to the north and west, Niger, Benin, and Togo is to the east, and Ghana and Cote d'Ivoire to the south. Burkina is about the size of Colorado and has a population of about 17 million. Burkina Faso’s high population density and limited resources (it is a landlocked country) have resulted in poor economic prospects for the majority of its citizens. Burkina is consistently in the top five poorest countries in the world. Ninety percent of the population is engaged in subsistence agriculture, which is difficult due to the harsh climatic conditions.
In recent years the country has experienced an increase in violence and acts of terrorism. Burkina Faso has been recognized as the fastest growing humanitarian crisis in Africa in 2019. Currently, over 560,000 people are displaced as a result of the terrorist attacks. This number will go as high as 900,000 this year. In recent months, Churches of all denominations are being specifically targeted and attacked, including during hours of worship.
We are calling believers and churches everywhere to "Pray Strong" for Burkina Faso. We believe this crisis is an opportunity for God to put His glory and power on display. We believe that prayer is the key to unlock the power of God and the miracles this country needs.
