Immediately after Governor Ivey shared new guidelines for "reopening" on Friday, CtK Church Council President Casey Van Kralingen called a next-day meeting for Council and lead staff.
The Council is excited and has formed an ad hoc committee for 2 tasks: 1) the ad hoc Committee will immediately survey the congregation so we can hear everyone's anticipation and concerns about reopening, and 2) the committee will also use the congregation survey and the Governor's new guidelines to set forth a measured and prioritized plan to reopen the ministries of our church.
Even as we all anticipate our next step, we will continue the ways we've been worshipping and meeting until our next step is ready.
Please join us in stopping to pray EVERY DAY at 7:14 am and 7:14 pm and pray and act in accord with this command of God from 2 Chronicles 7:14 — "...if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." Spread the word!
