What’s Happening at CG?

 

Daily Devotional

Read: 1 Chronicles 16:23-29; Psalms 107:20

We are exhorted by the Chronicler to give thanks to God for all of His wondrous works. Not only those who know God but, strangers are to give thanks also. Before we ask anything from God our first duty and devotion is to say thank you. Even in these challenging times of health and medical crisis we can thank God because things could always be worse. And we must know that we will need God in the coming days to deliver us from the pestilence in our midst. So today, we thank our God for all that He has done and is doing for us this day. We thank Him for His healing power that is available to us and He provides today. Pray to God our healer. Give Him all of your hurts, mental and physical. Thank Him, trust Him, ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name.

Shalom
Pastor Smith

  • All regularly scheduled church meetings and activities are postponed until further notice. This includes Noon and Evening Bible Studies, Choir Rehearsals, and Ministry Meetings. We are also working to have our Wednesday Bible Studies on the web.
  • The Church Office will be closed. We will be monitoring the phones and emails. So, don’t hesitate to call or contact the church, or Pastor if needed.

We will do our best to keep things as normal as possible. We expect this postponement to last approximately two weeks. However, this is a fluid event that might take longer. Thank you to everyone who’s working so faithfully during these trying times.

The church of Jesus Christ is the hope of the world. Stay healthy! Keep Praying! God is in control!

Coronavirus disease 2019 is an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, a virus closely related to the SARS virus. The disease is the cause of the 2019-2020 coronavirus outbreak. It passes from one person to others by respiratory droplets produced from the airways, often during coughing or sneezing. Time from exposure to onset of symptoms is generally between 2 and 14 days. Symptoms are: Fever, cough, and shortness of breath are the most common.

Center Grove is regularly sanitizing common areas in the church to prevent transmissions. Hand sanitizer is located in these areas in the church: vestibule, classrooms, and office areas. We ask that you pray for those affected by the virus and for God to protect, heal, and keep us during these times.
Healthy Practices for Individuals:
  • Wash hands often throughout the day.
  • Use alcohol-based liquid hand sanitizer several times a day.
  • Limit handshakes and hugs. People will understand during this time of increasing virus awareness.
  • Consider postponing long trips, especially international travel.
  • Cough into your bent elbow rather than hands.
  • Be a spacious person. Determine if it is not necessary to be in close proximity of someone to have a conversation.
  • Do not wear a mask if you are not sick.
  • Do not wait, seek medical attention if you suspect that you have any of the symptoms. An once of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
