Lesson 9: The People Sin Against God (Exodus 32:1-14)

November 1, 2020








From the Desk of the Pastor

In person worship Services continue to be temporarily cancelled.  I’d like to respond to some questions that members may have.

When will the church re-open for in-person services?

"We are in the midst of a spike in cases throughout the nation. We are closely monitoring the information given by the professionals. Currently in place in Los Angeles is a 10 person limit on in person worship to allow streaming.  Once an update is given I will make that information known.Why are some other facilities open in the city and the church not open?

Health experts have stated that church services have been causes of spreading of the virus. The state of North Carolina and other states opened for services and a number of churches had clusters of COVID cases.  Therefore it best for us to remain careful before we reopen for in-person worship. Please Remember this. The church never closes and we are thankful and will continue streaming of services during this period."


Continue to pray for our nation, state and city and for the hearts of those to change their positions of authority in law enforcement.
