Indoor and outdoor services to resume, following guidelines
FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH
First Christian Church of Leisure World has resumed its indoor worship services. First Christian asks people to adhere to COVID-19 safety criteria, including wearing masks and observing social distancing.
••• This week’s Sunday message will be a continuation of “The Judgement of God” message from last week. After the glorious return of the Lord Jesus Christ at the end of the seven-year tribulation period, the judgement of nations will take place. This judgement led by Christ himself will identify those who will enter into the millennium or thousand-year reign of Christ and those who will not. The text comes from Matthew 25:31-46.
The Scripture of the week is Psalm 67:1-2, “God be gracious to us and bless us, cause his face to shine upon us, “That your way may be known on the earth, your salvation among all nations.”
When God bestows gracious blessings on his people, it is an opportunity for bystanders throughout the earth to be drawn to him and know the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ.
Saturday and Sunday services have the same message. Sunday is a traditional service with hymnal music provided by Pat Kogok at the piano. This week, Carol Speake and Sue Kaminski will sing a special duet. Sunday service times are from 9:30-10:45 a.m. (note that this is a different service time than before the pandemic). Saturday services are more contemporary, with Gregory Black leading worship with guitar accompaniment. Saturday service time is 9:30-10:45 a.m. (also a new time). The Friday evening prayer meeting is from 6-7. The church location is on Northwood Road, behind Carport 125.
••• First Christian Church is concerned about the health and safety of all attending the worship services. It asks that those who are experiencing any coronavirus, flu or common cold symptoms stay home. If you have been in contact with anyone testing positive for the virus within the last 14 days, stay home.
