COVID-19 Update (07/21/21)

Church Family,

We want you to know that we’ve had some more church members test positive for Covid this week, some of whom were at church on Sunday morning. We’ve directly contacted those that we know were exposed and made sure our facility is clean and safe.

We are still meeting tonight for Wednesday Night Grow Service. We understand if you can’t come, but we encourage you to join us if you can. Our policy is that unless one of our pastors tests positive or shows symptoms, we plan to continue meeting together.

If you’re in a Wednesday Night leadership role of any kind, and won’t be here tonight, please contact one of the pastors or the church office. We love you so much, church family! We’re praying that the Lord will guard you and bring a quick end to this difficult season.

GGBC Corona Virus Update

The LORD is in His holy temple; the LORD'S throne is in heaven; His eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men. (Psalm 11:4)

Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, [16] making the most of your time, because the days are evil.  (Ephesians 5:15-16)

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. [7] And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)

Church Family, 

These days, concerns are rising about the Corona Virus. Some of these concerns are right and good. People want to walk wisely and protect ourselves and our families. In doing so, remember: God is still the sovereign King of the universe. He isn’t caught Him off guard by this. So let’s continue rest in Him and be gracious to each other as we walk through the coming days. 

So in a desire to love the Lord and love our neighbor well, here’s how this Sunday and Wednesday will look: 

Sunday AM service (3/15):        Yes

Sunday School (3/15):                No 

Sunday PM service (3/15):         No

Wednesday PM service (3/18):  No

Sunday AM service will be a family service. No childcare or nursery will be available. Parents, plan accordingly and bring anything your children will need for worship (like crayons, and maybe the latest MY CHURCH NOTEBOOK, available here). 

This virus is more common among those with a weakened immune system or a heart / respiratory condition. If you have one of these conditions, then out of love we encourage you to stay home. Also, if you’re feeling sick at all, then out of love for you and others, please stay home. No one among our church family has been diagnosed with the virus, but we’re still taking all the necessary precautions.

Pastor Cody’s sermon will be posted by 2pm this Sunday. You’ll be able to find it and all our other sermons here.  

We also have youtube playlist of the songs we’re singing this Sunday morning. You can listen and sing along here. 

If you’re on campus for service, we encourage you to avoid physical contact (handshakes, hugs, etc.) if at all possible. With that in mind, we will not have our normal “welcome time.” Also, we’ll have offering plates available at the doors for giving as you exit. You can also give using the online bill pay service offered by most banks. Find out more about this on our website here. 

Most importantly church, PRAY. 

Let’s join with other churches in the Southern Baptist Convention in praying these things:

We’ll be updating you here as the days progress. You can always contact your deacon or any of the staff with any questions, concerns, or if you just need someone to pray with you. We love you church!

In Christ, 

Your Church Staff
