Church is an essential business in community

Posted May 01, 2020 1:00 am

Dear Governor: If you think churches are not an essential business, I am sorry you have had such a poor experience with church.

You should go to one like ours.

The preaching is inspirational and motivational, and we are challenged to be good citizens and help others in the community on a weekly basis. It is such a positive, uplifting experience.

We have a ministry to help poorer folks, running 12 buses every Sunday to pick up people who have no transportation to church.

We support over 270 missionaries around the world on a monthly basis. We have an addictions program, and about 100 attend every Friday, having their lives changed, and their families salvaged.

It's a real church. We are an essential business in this community. Looking forward to the freedom to worship and serve our community again soon, as God commands and our constitution protects.

Sorry you have missed out. Come visit sometime.
