Dear Church,

I want to write to share some updates and adjustments we will be making to help do our part during this corona-virus pandemic.
These changes have not been made easily. Much thought, prayer, and counsel has gone into these adjustments. My first responsibility is to care for the well being of the people God has entrusted to me. Thank you for your understanding as we walk together through this challenging time. These adjustments will go through Wednesday night, March 25. Other adjustments will be made if needed.

Moving Forward:

All Of Our Services Will Be Live-Streamed Through wayoflifebaptist.com And Through Facebook Live. There will be NO live services at the church.

Services on Sunday night at 6:00 and Wednesday night at 7:00 are NOT being canceled. We are not canceling our services, but we are changing the location. Rather than gathering in the main auditorium or having AWANA in the Life Center, we are encouraging you to gather with your family or a few friends and watch the live stream services from your home. Please plan to keep your schedule with your family for worship. We will go over announcements and prayer requests at that time through live-stream.

These will be special services as we all gather for the first time in our homes to watch, listen, and grow spiritually via live stream.

Additionally, here are a few things I want our church family to be aware of going forward:

Always—As always, all of our facilities, including childcare locations, are deep cleaned. We also encourage you to follow standard hygiene practices to stay healthy. These practices include washing hands frequently, using hand sanitizer, covering your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze, and avoiding contact with sick individuals.

Live Stream—Each week, we will be notifying our church family through the prayer chain regarding the church schedule. Every service of our church will be live streamed at wayoflifebaptist.com.

Faithful giving—Although the next few weeks will likely involve unique formats and scheduling of our services, the ministry responsibilities, both locally and around the world, will continue. Let’s be faithful in our giving, whether that be in person on Sunday, electronically, or dropping it off at the church. You may also mail a check directly to the church at 2100 Harmony Court Clayton, NC 27520. You can give online right from the church website. It is convenient and it is safe.

Member Needs—If you have a question about the service schedule, have a need related to a ride or delivery of food related to the Coronavirus, please call Pastor Scott at 919- 400-1326.

II Timothy 1:7 tells us, For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. We actively seek to avoid fear and panic, but we also must embrace the sound mind. Wisdom and love of neighbor require us to make these adjustments. As a whole, we plan to follow guidance from government officials and health experts.

Thank you for your patience and understanding through this challenging time in our nation and in our churches.

Let’s pray that God will allow our lights to shine brightly, and that this difficult event could soften hearts to His truth.

I Love You All,
Pastor Scott
The Way of Life Baptist Church
