Urgent Notice!

To all of our church family at Spirit of Joy,

We are writing this asking for you to pray for healing and comfort to all who are being affected physically and spiritually by this global crisis.  We would like to share what Spirit of Joy will be doing to minister to God's people over the next few weeks:

1) We will be live streaming one 9am worship service on Facebook as well as You Tube (see instructions below), so you can access this in your home.  We will NOT be meeting together for worship at this time on the 15th or 22nd.  The single, 9am service will be available online only. 

2) We will not be meeting together for any Bible Study, Prayers and Squares, Youth, Kids Klub, Lenten Soup Suppers, Swap Meet (postponed), or Home Groups, over the next two weeks.  

3) We want to provide ways in which your regular giving can help the church continue to minister in this difficult time - please see below section on "Giving".

The leadership is taking all precautions necessary for the safety of our church family and community. To clarify:  An individual who attended the Monday Night Bible Study, who is not a member of the congregation, has been in contact with someone who has tested positive for the coronavirus. We will continue to monitor the situation over the next 14 days.  We are taking all appropriate steps to keep everyone safe and will follow up . We will continue to keep you informed as these two weeks progress.

We will be working to help you find connection with one another through possible live streaming of Bible Study and Lenten devotional.  We encourage you to be in conversation and caring with one another. Check in with one another, with friends and neighbors.  As part of the spiritual community we can step in to offer support, kindness, thoughtfulness and our love for Christ to help others in creating a faith-based spirit of calmness. 

We will continue to update everyone on our current situation at Spirit of Joy.  In the meantime "We do not know what the future holds, but we know Who holds the future."

May God bless us all as we seek to remain faithful to our call as God's people,

Pastor Dan
