Coronavirus Update - March 20

Dear Grace Falls Family

Here is my latest update to the Covid-19 Virus and the changes and adjustments we are making for our church and our ministries.

We will be following the guidelines laid out by our state and federal governments in regards to our corporate gatherings.

We will be suspending our regular gatherings the next two weeks – March 22nd & March 29th and then re-evaluate as we see where we are in light of this pandemic.

We WILL be having our service on these dates online via our Facebook page.

The Service will be broadcast at 11AM each Sunday.

I will be preaching and Pastor Robert and his family will be leading in worship through music as we hope you will join us wherever you are as we gather as His people.

Remember what I always say. The church isn’t about a building but a people. So now these next two weeks we get to put that into practice literally. I have also created a Facebook Group called Grace Falls Church Community Group that I would encourage you to join so we can gather together virtually some time during the week for prayer and encouragement.

This will also be a great place to share information, updates and needs as they arise. I realize that some of you don’t use Facebook but this is the best and quickest option we have access to and we will be utilizing it in these difficult days. Please consider using it so we can stay connected. Depending on where we are in the future we may look at other alternatives but as for now this will be our best option.

I also want to know if you and you know of folks who may have needs during this time. If there is anyway we can assist or try to connect them with someone who can please make me aware by sending me a message via email or by phone.

My email is buff@gracefallsac.org and my cell is 813-388-1259.

We love you and we are praying both for you and with you during these days. I received a great prayer from one of our family who texted me it to me and I thought I would share with you. It said:

“O GOD, who never forsakes those that hope in You: grant that we may ever keep that hope which you have given us by Your Word as an anchor of our souls, to preserve us sure and steadfast, unshaken and secure in all the storms of life; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Stay strong, Wash your hands, and Trust in God no matter what!

Your Pastor & Friend Pastor Buff
