Pastoral Update from Rev. Jake M. Caldwell
Dear Friends,
I pray that you and your family are safe and well. These are troubled times and I certainly share in your wondering about what the days, weeks, and months to come hold in store. Whatever may come, our faith teaches us that we can place our trust in the one who created us and whose love never fails us. May you find peace in the knowledge that God is bigger than the trouble of the day, however real and fearsome that trouble may be.
I was reminded this week of some wise and timely words a three-year-old uttered to me, her anxious father. Seven years ago, this week, I was fast asleep one night.
On March 12, Governor Larry Hogan instituted several state-wide measures to curtail the spread of the Coronavirus, including a two-week closure of schools and a ban on gatherings of 250 people. In response, the leadership of First Christian Church has decided to cancel all church related activities and all non-church functions scheduled on church property, including worship, from Friday March 13th through Saturday March 28th. We will evaluate the potential to hold worship on Sunday March 29th as public officials continue to release additional details about the Coronavirus pandemic and issue further guidance.
All Church Activities for Sunday, March 15th have been cancelled.
This includes Worship, Worship and Wonder, Fellowship, and Sunday School.
