Church Family,
You may be aware that the governor asked for there to be gatherings of no more than 250 people in our county. Our staff have been monitoring this all week, talking with the deacons, and consulting other pastors. As a result, we have decided not to hold services this Sunday, March 15. We will also not have activities this coming Wednesday, March 18. We feel we need to submit to the decision made by doing our part to help prevent the spread of the virus (Romans 13:1). As shepherds of this flock, we also want to offer as much protection as we can.
As an alternative this Sunday, we will post the sermon I was planning on preaching on our website (www.fbcgo.com). Please worship with your family and watch the sermon this Sunday. If you have a smaller group, you are free to meet (i.e. Connect Groups, a S.S. class in a home, etc.).
We are not sure about the following Sunday, and we will make a decision late next week. Our offices will be open if you need anything, and please help us spread the word. I posted a video on our website and our Facebook page explaining all of this as well if you want to watch it.
In Christ,
Mark Smith, Pastor of FB-C Jacksonville, AR
