IN-PERSON SERVICES CANCELLED
Tuesday, March 17, 2020
RE: "IN-PERSON SERVICES" CANCELLED
Dear family and friends of Central Christian Church:
Government agencies, federal, state and local, are united in ordering or recommending that gatherings of people be limited in size to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in communities. As a ministry leader and congregational pastor, I am facing the challenge of rethinking how we can be the church in this unique time and place in history. I thoroughly enjoyed our worship service last Sunday. I feel, still, that it was a worthy decision to meet. I also came to an awareness that our freedom and desire to worship as a faith family must be balanced with our responsibility to and for the community in which we serve.
Having been in conversation with leadership on the Executive Committee of the church, a decision has been reached to CANCEL FOR A PERIOD THE "IN-PERSON SERVICES" of the church. The Elders, Board of Stewards and the Executive Committee will continue to meet at the church as scheduled or called.
We will not operate out of a spirit of fear (2 Timothy 1:7). We will not let our anxiety (Philippians 4:6) supersede our trust in the power of God. We will communicate with one another during this time through email and telephone and text and cards and letters and face book. I will post, several times a week, prayers, devotional thoughts, announcements, calendar events in video on our face book page as well as the church website.
Email to: michaelpassmore@cccsa.org or on Facebook. My cell number is 210-294-2611. My prayers will be with you all until we meet again.
Blessings, courage and peace,
Dr. Michael S. Passmore
Senior Minister
