To all members and friends of Emmanuel Chapel,
Like you, we have been considering the constantly changing developments in the
ongoing outbreak of the coronavirus. We have come to the conclusion that the
best course of action for us is to follow the 3/16/2020 update-in-guidance from
the CDC: “During the next 15 days, all U.S. events of 10+ people should be
cancelled or held virtually.” With regret, we are cancelling Emmanuel Chapel’s
worship services scheduled for 3/22 and 3/29. We will update you here if
further cancellations are necessary.
To encourage you in your personal and family worship at home the next two
Sundays, you will find new messages posted on our website. On March 22, you
will find a new message by Bill Edgar on Psalm 13, as we wrap up our “Winter in
the Psalms” series. Then on March 29, you will find a new message that is
currently percolating in my heart and mind, about how the coronavirus can
actually help us learn some crucial things about life and death.
Until we can be with each other again, we are being urged to practice “social
distancing.” Personally, I think a better phrase would be “physical distancing”
– staying home, and staying at least 6 feet from others when out and about for
necessities. In addition, I would encourage us all to be practicing what I
would call, “distant socializing.” We live in an age of social media, when it
has never been easier to be in touch with each other without being physically
together. So please reach out to each other with phone calls, texts, and the
various live video options available. Talk together, pray together. Love and
listen well. Love is stronger than the coronavirus. This is the time for
“distant socializing.”
Stay well. Stay hopeful. Stay connected. And stay home. Jesus is with you
there.
Warmly in Christ,
Pastor John
We are continuing to monitor the coronavirus situation, and as of the current time we do plan to have regular worship service on Sunday 3/15/2020. For those who are unable to attend we will do our best to post a link to the sermon. Please refer back to the website for new updates.
