In accordance with the guidelines released by the White House yesterday, all of our church gatherings will be suspended until March 31st.

Please email Christie christie@ballantynepres.com with any specific prayer requests or praises that you would like the church family to be praying for by noon on Wednesday, and she will send those out on Wednesday afternoon.  I encourage you, as your schedule allows, to pause and pray for those requests between 6:30 and 7:30 Wednesday evening, and again at noon on Friday.  In this way we can pray ‘corporately’ remotely!

On Sunday, we plan to live-stream our 11am service, and we will send you more details about how to access that later this week, Lord willing.

Let us continue trust the Lord, check on the elderly folks and others in our congregation and community (via phone, email, or text) who may have needs, exercise wisdom and patience, and pray that in all things the Lord will be glorified.

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!  Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:4-7)

In Christ’s love,
