In the background of the picture above is a sacred site in Jerusalem known as the Garden Tomb. In 2010, I was overwhelmed with emotions as our tour group partook of the Lord’s Supper and sang “Because He Lives” while standing outside of this very location! While I had always believed in the death and resurrection of Christ I walked away from that experience evermore convinced that our “Savior Lives!” With that said, in just a few days we will celebrate the resurrection of Christ as a church family like Christians have been doing in every generation for the last 2,000 years.
Obviously, we are in a unique situation that calls for a certain level of creativity in order to celebrate this year. With that said, we are planning to hold an outdoor drive-in service this weekend at 11:00 A.M. in the upper parking lot of our church. At this point a stage has been built, the order of service has been planned, and prayers are being prayed in advance of this weekend’s service. However, in order for everything to flow smoothly we need to keep the following factors in mind:
- Enter the parking lot through the Rowland Lane entrance. (Between the new building and the church parsonage.)
- Parking attendants will direct you where to park. Please follow their direction so that we can get as many cars as possible into our lot and maintain a safe distance between cars.
- Please no more than a single family that lives together in a car.
- Please do not get out of your car.
- Please do not pass anything between cars.
- All vehicles will be parked facing the pulpit area.
- Sound will be provided through the use of a sound system and an FM transmitter that will allow you to receive the audio of the service on a radio frequency inside of your car. (Tune your car radio to 91.1 FM.)
- Drivers will be directed as to when and where to exit at the end of the service.
- Finally tithes and offerings be collected as cars exit the parking lot.
In the meantime don’t neglect to pray in advance of this weekend. Likewise, please know that I am praying for each of you and look forward to seeing you soon.
In Christ,
Pastor Josh
