Crossing Baptist In-Person Service Plans – July 2020

As the number of coronavirus cases in our area continue to increase at a high rate, we want to make sure that we are doing all that we can to protect every member of our congregation and our community. In consultation with our Safety and Security Team and Health and Wellness Team, we have decided to stream our worship service online beginning this Sunday, July 5, rather than have in-person worship outdoors. 

The service will begin at 11AM, rather than 9AM, to enable Bible Study groups to meet online before the service. We will adjust as needed, but plan to provide our worship service in this way through the month of July.

Though churches in Texas are exempt from many orders such as limits on gatherings or mandatory masks, we are under a higher authority who commands us to “love our neighbor as ourselves” and it is in this Spirit that we as a church are seeking to keep one another safe and healthy.

Thank you for your patience, flexibility, and grace during this time. It seems that in every area of our life we are being challenged to accept new measures of safety, change the way we are used to doing things and then change again, and that when we look to the future things are uncertain. Believers, let us take comfort that we serve a God who holds each of us in His hands and keeps us safe, who makes all things new, and who absolutely knows what the future holds. Our task is trust Him and be faithful to His commands, especially the command to love one another as He has loved us. 

If you or family is in need of anything during these days, please do not hesitate to contact our church staff, deacons, or me directly, and we will be glad to do all we can. 

In Christ,       

Pastor Patrick
