Hello Impact family!
In the middle of March, we made a proactive decision for the safety and health of all five generations of our fellowship to suspend our weekend worship services, Impact groups, Youth group, KLA, Celebrate Recovery, Healing Rooms, Midweek Refreshing, and all other gatherings. Based on Governor Abbott’s briefing on April 27 th, this strange season may be coming to an end.
There have only been five Covid-19 cases in Kerr County. All of them were travel-related and only one of them is still active. Because of that, ‘The Governor’s Report to Open Texas” allows Kerr County restaurants, movies, and retail stores to operate at 50% capacity for the next two weeks.
We went into this season with an over-abundance of caution, and it only seems wise to move out of it using the same caution. So, we will continue to just stream our Sunday service and Kids Church for two more weekends. Meanwhile, we have begun making plans to HOPEFULLY restart our weekend worship services at Impact on May 16-17, 2020.
Over the next couple of weeks, we will be closely monitoring how things are going health-wise in our community. Let’s keep praying for the blessing of the Lord, and for the total suppression of this Covid-19 virus, at every level and in every way throughout Kerr County and beyond.
As we do that, we will also:
- open up the campus so people can attend the Midweek Refreshing (12 noon to 1 PM) in the Sanctuary, starting on Wednesday, May 6th.
- contact everyone who serves – Coffee Shop, Greeters, Nursery, Ministry Team, Worship Team, Kids Church, and Communion Prep – to set up new serving
- coordinate with Impact Group leaders to determine when and how they desire to get their groups re-started.
When we return we want everyone to have the freedom to be with us, if they so choose. With that in mind, even after we resume our weekend services, our plan is to continue live streaming our entire Sunday morning worship service as well as the Midweek Refreshing every week.
Galatians 5:6 says, “The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.” It has been a beautiful thing to see our Impact family checking on and serving one another while we were not able to regularly be together. We are so thankful for the many ways God has blessed, sustained and strengthened us through this most unusual season, and we look with expectancy toward revelations of all the ways God has turned this meant-for-evil virus into something for our good.
For the core Leadership Team,
David & Cindy Danielson
