Good News!
Good afternoon church family, friends, and community!
A couple of days ago, the President of the United States, the CDC, and Oklahoma officials suggested all gatherings be limited to 10 people or fewer. At first, this was a shock; and to be quite honest, I was a little angry that I was being told that I couldn’t be together with my church family to preach the word of God, to encourage each other, and lift each other up at the church. Then, after a time of prayer, the Lord reminded me that we are His temple and where we go, He goes.
After contemplating the task that the government has at hand, I realized that they are not asking me not to preach the gospel. They are not trying to take the Bible out of the church. They are just watching out for the safety of the people of the United States, especially the elderly and compromised. Like if we were being bombed, they would ask us to take shelter.
So, in honoring the President of the USA, we are making changes to our church service. The Word of God will continue to be preached, but the way we offer the service is changing for a season. Do I have faith? Yes! Do I believe in His Word? Yes! Do I believe in laying hands on the sick and they will recover? Yes! These things have not changed and will not change. The Word is true, and the truth will continue to go forth.
Our Sunday morning and Wednesday night service will move to ONLINE ONLY. Our regular service times will apply - Sunday at 10AM and Wednesday at 6:30PM.
All other activities and events are cancelled during the month of March. We will re-evaluate for the month of April. (Note: I have set aside daily, several times a day to pray over this and I am believing for this to dissipate and disappear quickly. Join me in prayer!)
Church staff are available at the church office Monday-Thursday from 9 to 12. Offices are closed on Friday and Saturday, but feel free to call and leave a message. We will get back with you. If you need assistance, we have people in position right now that are ready to help, so please let us know.
Church family, let’s do our part during this temporary season of change.
Let us continue to pray for our President and leaders of this nation. Let’s continue to pray over this “virus” and daily lift our voice before the Lord on behalf of our country and its people.
Let us continue to edify each other, building each other up in the Word of God. Let’s continue to help each other in any way we can - looking out for each other, our neighbors and friends.
Let us continue to give into the Kingdom of God by continuing to make contributions to the church by bringing your offering to the office during office hours, giving online at A Glorious church website, or giving through text to 84321.
During this time, most of all, let us remember that we trust in the Lord with all our hearts!
Pastor Chip and Candace Brim and Staff of A Glorious Church
