Pastor Sharpe and the church staff continue to meet weekly to pray and discuss the most recent updates from the CDC and the Governor’s office. In response to the most recent guidelines and mandates of no more than 10 people gathered at a time, we are developing ideas for creative ways to worship and pray together in days going forward. We, of course, will honor the Governor’s latest request to self-quarantine/ shelter in place/sequester for the next 30 days. Which means that all regular activities of worship, prayer meeting and choir rehearsal are cancelled through the end of April.
We commit to meeting and praying for you, finding new ways to share resources and sermons with you, and keeping you informed regarding prayer list concerns.
We are concerned about your safety and well-being and praying for you daily. Please stay in touch with us in the office! Let us know if you have any prayer concerns for the prayer list and any suggestions for staying connected during this time!
Our Vision Statement: “ To be a welcoming community sharing Christ’s love in word and deed in Lakeside, Richmond and beyond.”
