I hope this finds you enjoying the cooler weather! If you missed yesterday’s worship service, you can watch it here. One important update we shared is that we are planning to resume onsite worship services on October 4th. The primary reason we pushed pause for onsite Sunday gatherings six weeks ago was local hospital capacity. Towards the end July and early August, our local health system was stressed and there was a real concern about capacity to provide adequate care to those who needed it. So out of a desire to love our community and exercise an abundance of caution, we chose to lay down our freedom to meet in-person and gathered online-only for a period of time.

But now, hospital demand seems to have peaked, and with the measures we have in place, we believe we can gather safely. So on October 4th, we will be gathering onsite at 9:15 and 11am, with limited children’s programming. You can find out more at gfcnow.com/updates. We will continue to gather online as well, so if that’s how you’ve been participating on Sundays, nothing is changing for you.
