Attention: 

Our church staff is closely monitoring the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) in our state. It is our desire that our members remain safe and healthy while continuing to minister to our church and community. We will keep you informed regarding our response and ways you can help. Here are a few things you need to know:

• We will maintain our regular schedule until further notice. If anything changes, we will update via our church email, Facebook page,and website.
• We will not be having a greeting time during our services and ask our members to refrain from shaking hands.
• We will not be passing an offering plate during the services. Instead, our ushers will be available with offering plates where members can place their offering directly into the plates.
• We will continue to do our best to keep all of our facilities clean and sanitized.

What should you be doing?

• Pray for the containment of the virus, the emergence of effective treatments, the minimization of its impact throughout the world, and for wisdom for your church staff.
• Wash your hands with soap FREQUENTLY.
• Be careful when handling common utensils, coffee pots, donut trays, etc.
• Don’t be afraid! Be smart, be diligent, and trust God! As Psalm 56:3 encourages us, “when I am afraid I put my trust in You.”
• The Centers for Disease Control and World Health Organization recommend the following measures:

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I am excited to be your pastor here at FBC Jones. My family thanks you for the generosity and love you have shown to us. We look forward in walking with you on this life's journey! Working together, God will see our efforts and He is faithful to direct our paths to accomplish His will! However, we must do our part and that comes obedience.

FBC Jones has never settled for mediocrity. We have facilities, location, leadership, and equipment. While all of these are important in a growing church, there is one ingredient that is more vital—you! A church is people. Building and equipment do not reach people. People do!

I am calling our entire fellowship to a dedication of yieldedness to the Lordship of Christ. I ask you to join with me in submitting our wills to His will. Learn the power of prayer! Feel the excitement and vibrancy of God's work! Experience the warmth of the  body of Christ that meets at FBC Jones! Get the burden of a lost and dying world  in your heart! Accept the reality that we must act "in God's stead" in getting that world to Jesus Christ.

God has placed us at a strategic time in history. The potential is all about us. We simply need to get into the harvest. There has always been a need for "harvesters." We know that with loving and consistently cultivation, people will respond. Our problem is having people willing to pay the price to reach out to others

In His Hands,

Pastor, Jimmy Reed
