BEALL CHAPEL BAPTIST CHURCH FACEBOOK LIVE SERVICES

JOIN US SUNDAY MORNINGS AT 10:45AM & SUNDAY EVENINGS AT 6:00 PM

Dear Beall Chapel Family, The recent outbreak of the Coronavirus has had an impact on all of us. Even though we were able to have regular services last week, with the new CDC recommendations released this week we feel that we must err on the side of caution and prudence and cancel any gatherings at the church until Sunday, April 5th at the earliest. The leadership has prayed about this and has not come to the decision flippantly. We will reassess the situation on a weekly basis and keep you informed as it develops. In lieu of meeting at the church, we will be providing a live stream of our services on Sunday mornings, Sunday evenings, and Wednesday evenings at our regularly scheduled times through Facebook live. Although we won't be meeting face to face please remember that there are ways in which we can participate in our activities and worship of the Lord: 1. Pray - Please continue to pray for all of those affected by this illness both directly and indirectly. Pray for the leaders in our community and nation. Pray for our church and pray that the world may find peace and hope in Jesus in these times of trouble. The church office is open during regular hours (M-Th 8-2, Fri 8-12) and a prayer room will be available for those who would like to come and pray. 2. Participate - Please continue the habit of "meeting" together by joining us on Facebook live and connecting with others by phone or email. In times like these it is easy to focus on our own needs but let us not forget those who may need our help or encouragement. Our scheduled times of worship will be Sunday mornings at 10:45, Sunday nights at 6 pm, and Wednesday nights at 6:30 pm via Facebook live. 3. Provide - Please continue to give and support the church financially. We may not be able to meet together during this time but the church continues to have financial responsibilities. There are a number of ways in which we can worship by giving during this time. Our gifts may be mailed to the church, we can ask someone from the church to come and pick up our gift in person, we can take our gift to the church office, or we can give online at beallchapel.com where there is a donation option. We as church leadership have a plan in place to work through this time and to resume our regular services as soon as possible. Should the situation necessitate a longer hiatus from our normal gatherings we are also making a long term plan to handle that eventuality, but Lord willing we will not need to implement it. We will continue to keep you updated through the church website, Facebook, and email. Please feel free to contact any of the church leadership with questions, concerns, or needs. Rest in the peace of the Lord. Beall Chapel Baptist Church 1861 S. Jackson, Jacksonville TX 903-586-8415

A season of losses:

Friends finishing their service here and returning home, leaving a hole in the place that was uniquely theirs.

Students moving on because of graduation or family/ministry changes. Kids in the flag picture are graduates.

Missing out on significant family celebrations: a graduation, a wedding, a new house being built.

A season of new beginnings:

Buying a car.

Furnishing an apartment with my own choices of color and style.

Showing a granddaughter and a niece around my world here.

Renewing my relationship with God which has grown stale and distant this year in the midst of all the adjustments. See more in the prayer request at the end of this newsletter.

JUST FOR FUN! Chemistry class on the first day of finals.

THANK YOU for ministering with me in prayer and financial support. Pray for me. As I alluded to in the new beginnings list, my relationship with God has suffered this year. My prayers are sporadic and shallow and time in His Word is mostly in response to Bible study preparation, not my seeking to hear Him speak to me. This is a priority this summer: to return to the lover of my soul with my whole heart. So please pray with and for me in that.
