Friends,

Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" Those were Jesus’ words in John 11 and we’ll look at that whole chapter this weekend in our services. I’ve so enjoyed walking through the book of John with you in recent weeks.

Your Leadership Team met last night, and we want to update you in light of recent changes in Lewis and Clark County. While we will continue to observe the mask mandate currently in place, we will make some changes immediately. First, while we recognize that some of us may still want some distance, we are going to add some chairs in the sanctuary and return Bibles to the chairs as well. So, you’ll see some rows with wider aisles than others. If you’ve been vaccinated or no longer require that greater distance from others, please sit in rows that are placed closer together. While we won’t reintroduce food quite yet, we’ll be watching closely for when that can happen. We’ll also continue with our current cleaning policies seeking to provide a clean environment.

In addition, we are happy to announce that plans are in place for Awana to start again on April 6,  and planning has begun for Vacation Bible School during the week of June 21 -25.

Also, for Easter week, our plan is for a Good Friday Service at 7:00PM on April 2 during which we’ll share communion together, and for Easter weekend, we’ll have services on Saturday at 5:30PM, and Sunday at 7:30AM, 9:00AM and 11:00AM. All of those services will be live streamed as well.

We’re seeing some light at the end of the tunnel, but the journey is not over quite yet. Thank you for your understanding and patience over the past year. Thank you for your support of Life Covenant Church. Thank you for following Biblical instruction in showing love to others and deferring to the needs of others. We’ll continue to keep you informed as we know more. Courage everyone!

Sincerely in Christ,

Keith Johnson
