Letter from Lamar Christian Church elders.
The eldership of Lamar Christian Church want you to know our plan for dealing with COVID-19.
1. All services, Bible studies and ministries are halted until CDHHS give us the all clear to re-start our services and ministries. This includes all other groups that use our facility. However, we are live steaming both services at 8:00am and 10:30am. You can watch on our website (https://www.lamarchristian.info/online-worship) or the Lamar Christian Church Facebook page.
2. Any funerals and weddings during the shut down will have a limited audience of 10 people. We can stream services as requested by the family at no cost to those families.
3. If there are any elderly or shut-ins from our congregation who need food and other basic needs, they can contact the church office with a "necessaries" shopping list and we will get your products for you and deliver them to your home, leaving the container outside unless you need it carried in. We will give you a copy of the receipt for your records. You can write your check to Lamar Christian Church and give it to the person who delivers your food. If you are not able to pay your bill, please tell us and we will take care of the bill for you.
4. We need volunteers to be willing to get food and other necessities for shut ins. Please call Luann at the office to volunteer. We will give the drivers the church's credit card to pay for the products.
5. Daily ministry continues for our staff, thus we want to encourage our congregation to give their offerings through EasyTithe (https://app.easytithe.com/App/Giving/lamarcc), or drop your offering off at the office during regular office hours. Mondays 1-5pm, Tuesday through Friday 8-12, 1-5pm. We still have our usual bills to pay each week, and our benevolence ministry expenses are increasing.
6. The Women's Encounter has been postponed until the fall.
7. We will inform you via our website, prayer chain and email when services and ministries are allowed again. If you are not on our prayer chain, or we do not have your email address we cannot contact you, so please contact Luann with your contact information. If you have changed your phone number or email address in the past year please let us know.
Sincerely, the congregation eldership.
