Church Letter,

Updated 3/16/20 at 11:30 am

After much counsel, prayer, and reflection, I have decided to suspend our Sunday Morning worship services at Salem First Free Methodist Church the rest of the month of March. You will be able to join us virtually this Sunday at 10am as we continue our Journey following the steps of Jesus.

Why the change:

The CDC, Center for Disease Control, is now recommending gatherings over 50+ people be suspended.

Personally, I believe this is what is best for you and our community.

If someone asks why your church chose to respond to this health crisis by closing its doors, here’s my response:

• We are loving our neighbors by protecting our neighbors.

• We are not being fearful. We are being responsible.

• This is what love requires of us in this season.

During this change in our Church, I will be spending more time in prayer, planning, strategic thinking, and finding unique ways to equip you to be the Church. Where one door closes another opens. 

We will communicate through email if conditions change. If you don’t receive our weekly email announcements, click here to sign up for our email communication.
