Change of Plans for Sunday, July 26

Hope everyone is doing well! If 2020 has taught us anything, it's that plans change and we have to be flexible.  We can consider things to be obstacles or opportunities.  

I received news yesterday that our guest speaker Adrian Burden will be unable to join us this coming Sunday.  While preaching in Nebraska, he developed a fever for several days.  He was tested for Covid earlier this week and even though he is still waiting for results, we all feel the safest thing to do is to cancel his time with us.  He may or may not be positive, but depending on the news he receives, he needs to be back home in North Carolina if he is required to quarantine.

I quickly considered some other possibilities and speakers to keep our theme of racial unity for Sunday, but nothing materialized, nor did I have complete peace about the options.

So, you will have to listen to the normal preacher this Sunday! I'm sorry....I know all of us were looking forward to hearing him address the topic of racism.  He and I are trying to match up on a Sunday in the near future, but his schedule is very full.  At the very least, I have tentatively scheduled him for a half-week revival in January of 2021.

I want to encourage you to invite others, especially non-believers, to listen and watch this Sunday at 9 and 11am as we unpack one of the most important gospel passages in the entire New Testament.  I can't wait!

Thank you for your understanding and flexibility.  We trust that God's purposes will continue to be established in our lives and in our church.
