From the Minister's Desk

---

Greetings and God’s blessings to you all. We are continuing to move forward even though we are sheltered in place. Please know that even though we are apart in our city, we are still one in the Lord and our fellowship extends beyond our quarantine space. To all Medical Personnel who are assisting our population presently, we applaud you for your service knowing the risk that you take everyday that you serve. To those who have lost family members and to those who are sick, we continually pray for you that God will spread His wings of comfort and love on you.

During these days of the COVID-19 Pandemic, we have had to expand our social media platform. We are streaming a bible message each Sunday Morning and we have begun to do a Wednesday Night class using ZOOM. This pandemic has brought to light the need for us to utilize these means of technology in ways to stay connected and to provide spiritual edification for the congregation. It will be our plan to continue to use ZOOM for additional classes or prayer sessions on Sunday evenings or on nights other than Wednesday for encouragement purposes. We have no other choice than to continue. When this period is over, we do plan to schedule a time to provide a technology awareness session with our seniors and others to help them to become more familiar with the technology tools that we use in our social ministry at 

California Ave.

May the grace of our Lord be with each of you. Stay safe, stay in and practice social distancing during this time of pandemic.

God Bless
