we're reopening! here are the details:
We are going to continue to meet at 9:30! We have received positive feedback about the time of our service over the last few weeks. If this time hasn't been working so well for you, please let us know!
The service format and duration will be very similar to the last four weeks. We'll do three songs and a scripture reading or prayer before the sermon. The sermon will be about 25-30 minutes in length and then we'll do a closing song. We will maintain this format until the nursery is opened back up.
While many of our church family are excited about the possibility of getting back inside, others are quite nervous. Some of you do not feel comfortable coming inside. We, as your leaders, want you to know that we totally understand and support your decision. We are headed toward a season in this pandemic where every individual is going to have to determine their "comfort level" of exposure. For some of our dearly loved church family, this means that they may not return for weeks or even months. We want you to know that we do not judge or condemn you. Nobody at this church thinks poorly of you because you've decided to worship at home for a little while longer. Enjoy the livestream or the DVD's and know that we are praying for you and will be excited to see you again, whenever that time may come.
A few reminders:
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact and of the leaders here at GBC and we'd love to talk to you further about these issues.
Grace and Peace,
The Deacons
