In light of the rapidly developing situation around COVID-19, we realize that there is a lot of fear and uncertainty as we navigate the constantly changing stream of news and updates. This is indeed a very complicated time for our world and our community.

However, as the Body of Christ, we must approach these difficult days with our hearts and minds firmly grounded in the truth of God’s Word and with our eyes fixed on Jesus. We do not make decisions out of fear but instead follow His example in loving God and our neighbour. We care for those around us who may be vulnerable or in need of support whether physical or spiritual. Now is the time for the church to shine!

As a church we are now taking the appropriates steps laid out for us by the Public Health Agency of Canada, and in consultation with church leadership and many within the church family. We desire to be wise, caring, responsible, and compassionate during these uncertain days.

Therefore, we feel it necessary to take the following steps:

All public gatherings will now be postponed until further notice. That includes all Sunday morning ministry, weekly small groups and all mid-week programs.

We will be providing weekly online ministry, including a daily devotional and a weekly pre-recorded video sermon. Pastor Jeff will continue to serve at the church and encourages connection and care through phone calls, online chat forums, and emails.

We are looking into continued children and youth ministry via online resources so please watch for upcoming details.

We strongly encourage your continued financial support which allows us to continue the ministry of loving God and loving our neighbour. Thank you for your generosity and your support, you are investing in eternal treasure. You can give via

• mailing your gift to Breton Faith Covenant Church Box 57 Breton AB T0C 0P0
• e-transfer send to bfccdonate@gmail.com
• online through Canada Helps

 

While we are making changes to how we minister we are not shutting down our ministry and we pray that our mission, vision, and purpose will in no way be compromised. Please continue to pray for God’s provision, leading, and the wisdom of the Holy Spirit during this situation. Pray for the health and safety of our church family, our community, and our world. Pray that we continue to be Spirit led with courage and creativity as we ask God to use us to serve and love people well.
