FROM SERVICE OVERSEER…… USA ELECTIONS
Dear friends,
Due to an increased potential for civil unrest in the coming days, our body of elders have decided it would best not to meet in person for field service this Tuesday and Wednesday. Meetings for field service will be held only on Zoom. Also, this week’s mid-week meeting will be held only on Zoom and not in person. We will let you know if there are any changes to this plan.
Although we do not wish to cause undue alarm, Proverbs 22:3 states: “The shrewd one sees the danger and conceals himself.” Since a disturbance can arise unexpectedly, we encourage family heads to consider what steps they may take to protect their family. These steps may include avoiding unnecessary travel, not leaving their home at night, and avoiding areas prone to protests, if possible.
We encourage everyone to have sufficient supplies as you would normally do when preparing for a disaster such as a hurricane. If you need assistance with getting supplies, let us know as soon as possible. We highly recommend you get what is needed no later than Monday.
Just a few practical suggestions:
-Confirm that your go bag is ready
-Maintain a full tank of gas in your vehicles
-Keep cell phones fully charged.
-Review your family evacuation plan
We also encourage all families to watch the following video for any additional reminders:

If you have any questions, please contact your group overseer.
Phil 4:6,7: "Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus."
