Grace Family, 
 
    It was a very difficult decision to make, but the Executive Team is in agreement that it is best to cancel Christmas at Grace this year. We always pray for wisdom, guidance and sensitivity to the needs of our church family. Since Sunday we have had a few of our church members test positive for Covid-19. Jeff Davis, our Worship Pastor, was tested earlier today and discovered that he also tested positive. Because of this, we feel that is wise to not move forward with this weekend’s Christmas At Grace events.
     Out of caution, we are also cancelling our Wednesday night programming for this week. This includes GraceKids, Grace 56, and Grace Student Ministry.
   I have been tested, as well as several of our pastoral staff. We are praising God for the report that our test results are negative. Because of this, we WILL have our normal Sunday morning 8:30 and 10:30am in-person gatherings. I will be sharing a special Christmas message from Matthew
2:1–12, entitled “What Do You Give Someone Who Has Everything?”.  I want to assure you that your safety remains our top priority. As we do each Sunday, we will be following all of our COVID protocols, and social distancing. We are supplying sanitizing and mask stations throughout our lobbies, to offer each person in attendance the best protection. 
   Continue to be in prayer for those in our Grace family that have been diagnosed or have loved ones with COVID. We’re so thankful for each of you and look forward to seeing you this Sunday!
 
In Christ’s Love,
 
Pastor Bobby
