Good morning Faith Family!
The following reports have just come in the last 24 hours:
CDC has issued new guidelines prohibiting the gathering of 50 or more people. We have already planned for and complied with this as of yesterday by live-streaming our service.
We should always be guided by wisdom and protect the people we serve especially the vulnerable ones. It is also our moral obligation to help the nation in "flattening the curve" and slow down the spread of this virus so as not to overwhelm our healthcare workers, hospitals, and medical equipment. Important: please pray daily for all of our healthcare workers.
The Governor of Illinois has ordered all restaurants and bars to be closed by end of business today until March 30th. Drive through and pick up services will still be allowed.
We have some emergency food supplies in our food pantry. If you know of anyone who is in desperate need, please refer them to us. We will do all we can to extend help to anyone - members or non-members alike in our communities. If you would like to donate any excess goods, please contact bro. Jhun Almosara Letada so that he can meet you in the church. Let's continue to honor the Lord through our faithful giving to keep the work of the Lord flowing. If you've missed the opportunity to worship in giving, please see attachment.
Here's one of the passages that Pastor Greg quoted yesterday from his message: "Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." (Peter 5:6-7)
