Quarantine Update

Greetings to all,

It looks like the State of Missouri is going to start loosening up the restrictions on the stay at home order May 4th but it is not clear yet how Greene County is going to respond.

If the County starts allowing “small” groups to meet for Faith assemblies then we can start planning on how to best meet the needs of our congregation.

When I say “Small” groups, I don’t see the County allowing the larger groups like James River Assembly to just go ahead without some sort of guidelines. Continue reading →

Weekly update

Greetings all,

This has for sure been one of the most unusual Passovers and Days of Unleavened Bread that any of us have been through in our life times! We are isolated, not able to meet in person, stuck with news coverage that only seems to focus on anything negative they can find and just plain bored out of our minds.

People are beginning to say now that the isolation and staying at home may end up causing more harm than the initial virus itself. Just one opinion for sure but they might be right if this goes on much further. Continue reading →

1st Day of Unleavened Bread

Greetings to each of you,

As far as I have been informed, everyone is well and safe! For that we truly thank God for His protection, His calling and all that He does for each one of us every day!

I received some questions regarding why we keep the Passover a day before the Jews do, which is the day marked on most of the commercially produced calendars these days.

First off, don’t get confused by commercially printed calendars as the ones printed overseas now start the week with Monday and end with Sunday as the 7th day of the week. Continue reading →

Passover and Days of Unleavened Bread

Dear Brethren,

It’s been a couple of tough weeks for all of us having to stay at home but like I said in the sermon a few weeks ago, we might find ourselves in captivity just like the Children of Israel did back in the day and so it is!

Obviously we will not be able to meet for the Passover, the Night to be Observed, the 1st Holy day of Unleavened Bread or the Last Day of Unleavened Bread. Continue reading →

Greetings all,

I kept waking up last night and every time I awoke I kept recalling some lines from a song that we sang in services, I think when we were in United but I can’t recall the name of the song.

(I am the God, of Abraham and Jacob). Then another line (I am the God, who brought you out of Egypt, though the mountains quake and roar, be yea not afraid). Continue reading →

Dear Brethren,

As you may be aware, I keep in touch with Tyler and in fact have just spoke with Mike James about services being broadcast from Tyler starting this week.

So I’m hoping most of you can watch one of the services either from Tyler, Medina, or Atlanta.

You can go to the CGI.org home page and find the links to these services there. Continue reading →
