During this time of fighting an unseen enemy - the viral pandemic - we stand alongside all of you in doing all that we can to prevent further spread of this terrible illness. We will be having worship outside throughout the summer months.  At our main location we will worship "Down by the Fig Tree," a beautiful shaded area behind our church office.  And of course, our Lake Service continues at Gainesville Marina which is under a pavilion, but you may also spread out into the lawn.  We will observe social distancing by asking family groups/individuals to remain six feet apart and refrain from close contact when speaking to each other.  Even during this pandemic, our ministry continues through online videos, devotions and interaction with our children and youth through Zoom conferences.  In addition, an online Bible Studies are available each Wednesday in June for Adults and also one just for the Ladies. We have offered aid to our community through Family Promise as well as water and Powerade for our local hospital intensive care workers.  As a Christian, continue to encourage each other through calls, texts and cards.  Check on your neighbors. Pray for our health care workers.  Most importantly, stay faithful in prayer.  We will get through this with the Lord's help. I learned a song as a child that carries me through times like this:  "He's got the whole world in his hands."  Indeed HE does!
