Boundless Grace

Baptist

We will not have service Sunday. This was not a decision made out of fear, but one made after prayer and careful reflection on recommendations by our nation's leaders. We want to make sure we are doing our part to prevent the spread of this virus and to not put any of our church members at risk of catching the virus.

Since we will not be meeting, we as a staff have gathered to do a video Bible study on how we as believers should act and respond during this national and global crisis. The video will be posted at 10:30 a.m. on our Facebook page, as well as, on our church website. We hope you will tune in and watch as we study God's Word together.

We will continue giving updates weekly as to what our plans will be regarding our services. Your deacon should also be reaching out weekly to update you on decisions being made. If you do not have an assigned deacon or do not hear from one in the next few days, please let us know so we can assign you one and keep you in the loop.

We hope to see you all soon! Stay safe and God bless!

As of Wednesday, there were 32 cases of the virus in Arkansas. On March 20, there were around 100. We have all been asked by the CDC to not meet in groups larger than 10 for at least the next 15 days. As of now we are postponing our public worship services until further notice.

However, an abbreviated service will be held at the building for those who wish to attend Sunday at 11 a.m. We will continue to work on a way to stream the service if you have Facebook or internet as we are working on a streaming solution. Please pray for all those in our congregation and for all who are affected by this virus.

Messiah Lutheran Church

Pea Ridge

A message from the pastor:

We are in a most surreal time. I'm not sick, it is not snowing, and I'm not in church. This is contrary to everything I know and believe. But God also tells us to obey our government and leaders. Their wisdom has mandated that for the present time we not congregate. We must stay safe because we still have much witnessing to do. This is a most unusual time and it takes most unusual measures. For us this is unique, for some in the world this is routine because of Christian persecution. The Lord says: "Be still and know I am God." Stay safe. Blessings. See you soon.

Mt. Vernon Presbyterian

Church services, bible studies and committee meetings will all be cancelled until April 1st due to the concern of the well being of all our members and friends at MVPC. The session will re-evaluate the situation the first of April and send out further information at that time.

Please stay safe and be well!
