-MARCH CORPORATE CHURCH CANCELLED-
Hello church, we are in a very surreal time in history in which our lives are being greatly affected by the virus Covid-19. As of today There are at least 2,174 confirmed cases in the U.S. and 49 coronavirus-related deaths in the U.S. alone. Globally, there are at least 145,000 confirmed coronavirus cases and more than 5,400 deaths. Along with this there is an economical, psychological, and sociological impact that is unprecedented.
As a church we are not panicked as we know who holds eternity within His hands and believe God will carry us and our world through this Pandemic. However, it would be extremely unsensible for We are Church to simply go along with life as usual.
1. We as a church must come together and lift up our entire nation and world in Prayer. There is power in prayer and in the unity of believers.
2. We must do our best to not spread this virus. I.E. Wash hands, cover sneezes/coughs and stay at home if we feel ill.
3. We must be willing and generous in helping those in need during this important time in History. Many are without work, food, and hygienic necessities.etc. Let us be vigilant to share Christ's love amid the fear and anxiety. Because "There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear." 1 John 4:18 Let us spread God's Peace and Love during this tumultuous time in History.
Lastly as a church we are going to adhere to the advice of Health professionals and the CDC and we will not be meeting for corporate church at the end of March. We as a church feel that it is safest for all to continue to meet in our specific churches that are significantly less in number and are controlled within homes.
We will re-evaluate all future dates and gatherings at a later time and will give updates on the status of those events. As of now we still are hoping to meet for Easter, however all corporate gatherings are subject to change at this point in time. Thank you and God Bless,
We Are Church Contra Costa Elders
