| Our Activities at Present -- CoVid 19 Impact/Changes |
Current information for CFBC: We are reopening on March 14, 2021! This coming Sunday CFBC is reopening for in-person worship, dependant on everyone continuing to follow safety precautions: Everyone will wear a mask and practice social distancing of at least 6 feet from those not a regular part of daily contact. We will continue to have Sunday School via Zoom for right now, but we can meet in the sanctuary for regular worship at 11 a.m. We are also excited to announce that on March 28, 2021, we will have a guest speaker, Rev. Daniel Barham, who is also coming as a candidate for our pastor's position. He is coming to visit with us and will be delivering the morning message, with an extended session directly after the service in the sanctuary for a Q & A time. Again, all safety precautions observed during this time, with masks and social distancing in place. Remember, we welcome all who would like to join with us on Zoom for Sunday School! It is our prayer that everyone remain safe, and soon we hope this time will return to in-person meeting as well. If you would like to join us online, just call the church office (540-862-7481) and leave a message with your email address or email us at office@cfbaptist.com and a link will be provided to you. We continue to pray for our nation and around the world for the end of this pandemic and everyone's safety. We trust the Lord that each day holds its measure of blessings and challenge and that He will enable us to be thankful and ready for the days ahead, sharing His love and grace. As we join together for worship,remember the following guidelines: • We will practice social distancing at all times. If you are not in regular contact with an individual you may see at worship, please respect a 6’ separation from that person. • Seating in the sanctuary is marked in such a way as to allow us to assemble together while being considerate of the responsibilities we have for each other’s safety. • We will wear masks or face coverings in accordance with Virginia governmental guidelines. This is yet another way we can honor our responsibility for each other’s safety. • We encourage frequent hand washing or the use of hand sanitizer and have placed stations at each entrance of the church and in the sanctuary equipped with hand sanitizer, masks, gloves, and sanitizing wipes for you to use in church. We will continue to use the following temporary arrangements: • We will use a limited number of doors to enter and exit the building. The rear alley door, the door at the handicap ramp in front, and the left front door will be unlocked. We will not use the kitchen door, the middle front door, nor the door to the educational building. • Access to all stairs and the King Memorial will be restricted. • Collection boxes will be located in the back and in the front of the sanctuary to receive your tithes and offerings. We will not be passing a collection plate during Step 1. • When we observe communion, we will have the bread individually wrapped and the juice in single serving containers available to be picked up as you enter the sanctuary. • Choir, fellowship dinners, handshakes, and hugs are also temporarily suspended. As we continue on this challenging road, know that we will continue to provide phone tree devotions, personal telephone calls to the membership, and Sunday School via Zoom video conferencing. God is with us. |
Taking Account with Thankfulness
"So teach us to measure our days"--this statement begins the twelfth verse in Psalm
90, and the psalmist completes that statement with the result of that action--"that we
may apply our hearts to wisdom." As we take the time to consider the time--to really
see it for its worth, we gain the ability to apply that heartfelt understanding to wise
actions and consideration. These days give us all a challenge as we navigate how to
be safe, be with those we love, take care of daily responsibilities, and be mindful of
how we can add to the safety of others by our actions. We need to be wise....so we
learn to measure the days.
God's presence is evident in every day--we only need to stop and consider and learn
the value He reveals in our every moment.
As you feel God's presence and love--as you know His grade and mercy--we pray that
coming days will bring life and joy to you.
