Weekly Ministry Update

March 23rd, 2020

Dear Church Family:

Due to the spreading coronavirus, the Governor has banned gatherings of more than 10 people and asked that workplaces create alternative working models to ensure the safety of their employees. With this in mind, please note the following changes:

1. Beginning today, Monday, March 23, the church building and all facilities will be closed until further notice. For your safety and to ensure that ministries continue, we ask that you do not come to the building unless it is essential. If you must come to the church building, please call the church office before you arrive.

2. All ministers and staff are working and available to serve as usual. We are here to serve you. If you have a need or a prayer request, please call the church office at 931-526-2661 or email info@collegeside.org.

3. All worship services and Bible studies will continue to be available electronically while public gathering sizes are limited.

4. All contributions may be made online by visiting collegeside.org and selecting the GIVE tab. Checks may be mailed to: Collegeside Church of Christ, PO Box 509, Cookeville, Tn 38503, or dropped off in the secure mailbox on the post by the circle drive in front of the chapel.

5. Key cards for the building will be temporarily disabled until the building reopens.

Please know that while our physical operations are limited, we are committed to kingdom work. We ask for your grace and patience as we navigate this new challenge presented to us. We are committed to continually adapting the work of the Lord at Collegeside to meet the needs of our church and our community during this time. . . and we will do so with 2 Timothy 1: 7 confidence: “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”

We ask for your prayers for wisdom as we move through the next few weeks.

In all things, may God be glorified,

Help Our Families Stay Connected While We Are Apart

For the worship time next Sunday, we want to show video messages from our church family to each other. Take a moment to film a video of your family sharing a message of encouragement to the Collegeside family. Please keep the videos very short, film them in well lit, quiet places, and film in LANDSCAPE (that is holding your phone horizontally). E-mail the videos to matt@collegeside.org. Please select "maildrop" if you have that feature to ensure the videos are the best quality.

We would love to keep looking for creative ways to stay connected. Thank you for your help!
