An UPDATED URGENT Message From the Desk of Rev. Clifton R. Kilpatrick.....
on the COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic & Worship Service as of July 1, 2021!!!
The threats of this world are real, but we do not stand against such threats alone. Our Heavenly
Father stands with us, and in Him, we can find all we need to face such times. The Lord offers to
us a spirit of peace in place of fear and a spirit of hope in place of worry. We are closely monitoring
the Center for Disease Control & Prevention’s statements regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19) and
wish to comply with the guidelines that keep our congregants safe. Such information changes daily.
All health orders and the MANDATORY MASK ORDER were lifted June 2, 2021. People who are fully
vaccinated will not be required to wear a mask for in-person worship services that resume on
July 4, 2021.
Certain Businesses, health care facilities and doctors' offices can still
require people to wear a mask while in their establishments. Please use common sense and
protect your health. Persons 12 years of age and older can now make an appointment to get vaccinated.
Government’s motivation is to protect the well being of all individuals and we want to comply, in an
effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19 coronavirus and the variants among our beloved congregants.
Virtual Worship Sermons will continue to be posted to our Church Facebook page LATER in the day on Sunday
IF THERE ARE NO TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES or to this ANNOUNCEMENT PAGE BELOW.
God doesn’t want us to be filled with fear. He wants us to be filled with faith.
2 Timothy 1:7 states "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and of a sound mind."
The Church is not a building...it's the people.
