CORONAVIRUS
(COVID-19)

Dear Friends,

In light of the statements from the President, Governor, and Mayor we realize that our services need to be livestreamed and recorded instead of attended.

So, please don’t come for Bible Study on Wednesdays at 6:30 pm nor Sundays at 9:00 am, nor for worship at 10:30 am.  We will livestream these events.  Go to www.facebook.com/elcaminobaptistchurch/live/ at 6:30 for our Bible study: “Commit ACTS with Facts” on Wednesdays. If you miss it live you can find it later on Facebook and on our website at https://www.elcaminobaptist.org/adults.  Sunday at 9:00 a.m. you can do the same thing to get our Adult Bible Study on Romans.  Then at 10:30 a.m. you can do the same thing to get our worship service on Facebook or later as a recording at https://www.elcaminobaptist.org/sermons.  Also, these things will be available through DVD.  Just call the church office.  Finally, sermons can be heard on 710 AM and 105.7 FM Saturdays at 11:30 a.m., Sundays at 6:00 p.m., Mondays at 5:00 a.m. and Thursdays at 4:30 p.m. 

It breaks my heart that we won’t be meeting together for a while.  I get strength from God, but also from you.  Please pray for our church, our nation and our world.  I’ll be praying for you as well.

The commandment most often given in Scripture is “Fear not.”  It’s stated 103 times in the King James Version!  The reason the Bible says that so much is because fear is the opposite of faith, “and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith” (1 John 5:4).  So, let’s have faith that God will get us through this crisis.  We will seek to be wise and full of faith.

I shared this Psalm by David with our staff:

 Our soul waits for Yahweh;
 He is our help and our shield.
 For our heart rejoices in him
 Because we trust in his holy name.
 Let your love O Yahweh, be upon us
 As we have hoped in you
 (Psalm 33:20-22).

Remember that Paul said that “all things work together for good for those who love the Lord” (Romans 8:28) and that we should “give thanks in all things” (1 Thessalonians 5:18).

May God bless you!  Let us know how we can serve you.  My cell phone number is 925-784-0402.

Love,

Jim Meek, Pastor
