CDC RECOMMENDS USE OF CLOTH FACE COVERINGS AMID COVID-19 PANDEMIC

WASHINGTON — 

  

Dear  Members, Officers, Staff, Friends, Pastor and Members of Fountain of Living Water Congregation:

 

It is our hope and prayer that you and the family are following the instructions concerning the current Covid-19 virus pandemic. One of the major recommendations from the Center for Disease Control is not to have gatherings of ten or more persons to prevent the spread of the virus to other persons. We would like to do our part by canceling Sunday worship services at 11:00 am and prevent social contact at scheduled board and or committee meetings at First Baptist Church. 

There seems to be and rightly so, a great amount of fear in the hearts and minds of many people today in the light of COVID-19 virus. We are reminded as Christians, we need to replace our fear with faith and pray for God’s care and protection over our families, healthcare workers, vulnerable populations (elderly and those with preexisting conditions and medical professionals, and all God’s people who have and will be affected by the virus in the coming days ahead. 

The apostle Paul encourages us with the words “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: 6-7).    

We should take everything — no matter how small or insignificant it may seem to us — to the Lord in prayer “with thanksgiving”. Even when our situation may seem completely out of the ordinary, like the Covid virus, God is still in control. When we bring our needs and burdens to the Lord with thanksgiving in our hearts, He promises to give us His peace. Peace when everything around us tells us we should be frazzled or depressed or fearful or worried. Peace that comes from knowing, no matter what, the Lord is ultimately in control.

Yours in Christ, 

Pastor: Loreno Flemmings
