To My Century Church Family and Our Community:

Every Sunday as a church we gather to sing, pray, read Scripture, and hear a message centered in the grace and truth of Jesus Christ. We greet people with handshakes and hugs as we join in real community to care for one another. However, in keeping with what our government officials and other leaders have suggested in Alabama, the best way to care for one another in this moment is to pause our normal Sunday gatherings.

As you already know, the coronavirus has made it to Montgomery County, thus disrupting much of normal life as we seek to suppress its grip on our community. As a church family, we will NOT worship together for the next two Sundays (March 15^th and 22^nd) in order to do our part in fighting the harmful effects of the coronavirus on those most vulnerable in our area. We will Live Stream our worship services on the Century Church website and social media pages. Also, be on the lookout for messages and lessons from our Youth and Kids ministries.

You can continue to give to Century online or through the app.

In addition, I am asking you to “wash your hands and then go wash feet” during this difficult time in our community. Schools are closed. People will be without work. Some are fearful of the unknown, while others will struggle to make ends meet. Neighbors will need help with an aging parent. Single moms need childcare while they work. Folks will need encouragement that “this too shall pass.” This is our moment to be the hands and feet of Christ.

Let’s get busy serving our community while practicing social distancing. Pray for one another. Practice healthy hygiene. Check on the elderly and those with weakened immune systems. Support our local businesses. Be a good neighbor. Serve the least of these. Offer hope.

Century Church is community first. I urge you to not withdraw, but instead be present during our online gatherings, in prayer, and in service. How we handle this moment will demonstrate to our wider community that relationships matter at Century Church. I look forward to worshipping with you online the next two Sundays.

Say YES to Sunday (online)!
