An UPDATED URGENT Message From the Desk of Rev. Clifton R. Kilpatrick.....
on the COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic & Worship Service as of November 20, 2020!!!
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 from the Ohio Department of Health.
Such information changes daily and the most recent update from Governor DeWine issued
November 20 extends a MANDATORY MASK ORDER! Health agents will visit retail establishments. A warning
will be issued to stores the first time if customers are found not wearing masks. The second time an establishment
risks being shut down for a 24 hour period. In addition to this change in the mask order, a new stay at
home advisory has been issued in conjunction with a 10:00 p.m. curfew. All residents are encouraged to be
home by 6:00 p.m. unless going to buy groceries, visit pharmacies or to pick up food. Ohio residents will
be required to wear face masks in public and inside establishments. The
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 among our beloved congregants. So, it is with
much prayer, consideration and love for our dedicated members that "in person" worship services are
still suspended until further notice due to the 10 person gathering guideline recommendation. Instead,
sermons will be posted to our Church Facebook page LATER in the day 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, butof power and love and of a sound mind."
The Church is not a building...it's the people. Please note that you are still able to support the Church

members and all of God’s children are of paramount importance. We are continuing to pray for the
safety of those on the front lines caring for those already impacted by COVID-19. Remember to wash
your hands often and to practice the CDC guidelines to protect yourselves. Stay home, stay safe and
I look forward to worshiping with you online.
Blessings,
Rev. Clifton R. Kilpatrick
Pastor
