A message to the church, March 18, 2020 English transcript

Beloved church, dear brothers and sisters, young people, young men and ladies, our dear children, and everyone who has attended the church services at Slavic Christian Center, we greet you sincerely, in your homes, in your apartments, everyone who is traveling, peace be unto you.
Today I have a special message to all of you. Together with you, I would like to remember those times when we could freely attend our church services. But unexpectedly to us, many things changed due to this calamity that came to this whole world: this horrible Coronavirus.
So, taking care of people, the government of our State, with a purpose of limiting the spreading of the virus, the government instituted some limits on the gathering, and this proclamation applies to the Church as well. Therefore, for this time being, all these limitations, will affect the church service schedule and temporarily the church services will be canceled.
Taking care of the people of God for this time when we are limited for gatherings, we would like to switch to a different format for our services. Our services will be broadcasted through online format. Here is the schedule I would like to suggest:

• On Tuesdays we have youth services starting 7:30 pm
• On Thursdays we will have our prayer services starting 7:00 pm
• On Saturdays, as usual, we will have our services starting 7:00 pm
• On Sundays, we will have two services
o Our morning service starts at 10:00 am
o And our evening service starts at 6:00 pm

Brothers and sisters, the Holy Scripture teaches us something; specifically how we need to conduct ourselves at this time. We read this in the book of Ecclesiastes 7:14.

In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other to the end that man should find nothing after him.

So, in our prayers, as we sing hymns, while we listen to the sermons of our beloved brothers, my dear ones, when we are on-line we will continue being spiritually together. The group pastors, and the helpers, as long as you have an opportunity, work in the small groups.
Brothers and sisters, we cannot forget or neglect our financial offerings. And we understand the situation in which everyone is in right now where we need to take care of our families, let’s not forget that we also need to take care of the Church. Therefore, our financial offerings can be done through our website. If you choose to send checks, you can send them to the church address.
Brothers and sisters, my dear ones, let’s love the Lord. Let’s love each other. Let’s continue praying to the Lord. Let’s pray to the Lord for the church. Let’s pray for each other. Let’s pray for our cities. Let’s pray for the States and for the government and for our president.
My dear ones, the Lord is with us. The one who dwells under the protection of the Almighty, he has rest under the Almighty hand.
I would like to commit you to God’s grace. May God bless you.
