Coronavirus / COVID-19 UPDATE 3/14

Dear First Baptist Church of Titusville,

We are following the information regarding Coronavirus/COVID-19 daily from the Florida Health Department, Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO). Currently, we have no reports of local Coronavirus/COVID-19 cases.
First Baptist Church is taking the threat of Coronavirus/COVID-19 outbreak seriously. We are dedicated to ensuring proper protocols are in place to protect the members and visitors of our campus.

---

• We are implementing more aggressive sanitization measures to clean frequently touched surfaces.
• We have added hand sanitizer stations throughout the campus for everyone to use.
• We are staying up-to-date with our city, state and federal guidelines.
• We want to ask that if you are sick, please stay home.
• We ask that you use provided hand sanitizer and wash your hands if you use the restroom.

We prioritize our gathered worship service and during times like this we know that gathered worship is even more precious to us and needed. With that in mind we will meet for worship (and Sunday School, unless your class has communicated that they are not meeting) this coming Sunday March 15. To be mindful of the situation we will modify a few elements of our worship gathering.

• We ask that you refrain from handshakes.
• Please sit with your own family and we will try to spread out families though the sanctuary.
• We will replace the normal fellowship time with a special time of prayer concerning the Coronavirus/COVID-19 outbreak.
• You may want to place your offering in the collection plate before service begins or give online at https://www.fbctitusville.org/give.html.
• We will have no Sunday evening service, choir practice, or Wednesday prayer service this coming week.
• Office hours may be reduced throughout the week.

If you are worried about gathering with us because you are high risk for major complications, we understand that this is a difficult decision to make and want you to do what is best for you and your family. We want to remind you that the worship service is broadcast live at 11am on WPIO 89.3 fm. We have also implemented video live streaming of our worship service that can be accessed from your computer, tablet, or smart phone at https://www.fbctitusville.org/live.html. The First Baptist Church of Titusville Facebook page will also simulcast the live stream at 11am: https://www.facebook.com/FirstBaptistChurchTitusville

As the information continues to unfold, we will be monitoring the situation and adjusting accordingly. Please be in prayer for our leaders and church members. If you find yourself in need of assistance over the next few weeks, please reach out to us so we can assist you.

Our soul waits for the LORD; he is our help and our shield. For our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name. Let your steadfast love, O LORD, be upon us, even as we hope in you. Psalm 33:20-22

Peace In Christ,
Pastor Bob Wilson
