What to Expect @ E

Attending a church for the first time can sometimes be uncomfortable, a little bit scary, or unfamiliar if you didn’t grow up attending one. At Elevation, we don’t want you to be anxious about visiting us. We do want you to come and experience what God is doing in and through our church. Find out about what to expect on your visit.

A Personal Note From Chuckk

Posted on Mar 19, 2020 in E Happenings, General, News |

Mar '20

Hi E Family,

Wow! lots of craziness is happening around the world and here in our mountains. I know that this uncertainty and change can cause a lot of anxiety – I am praying for you. As pastor I want to send you a personal note from my heart. God is on the throne and at work in and through all this.

“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful”- Hebrews 10:23.

Jesus’ Church is unstoppable, He said that ‘the gates of corona will not overcome it’ …or something like that… Elevation church services are NOT postponed nor are they canceled; they have changed venue. Being “the church out of the bowl” we are currently in the air and on the air as opposed to in the Felton Music Hall. This is a temporary move and when community leaders and public health experts give us the all-clear we’ll all celebrate together again in person!

Presently, gathering on Facebook Live on Sundays @ 10am is our current best way to connect as Elevation, and connecting is VITAL for believers – even more so in troubled times. Hebrews 10:24-25 tells us

”Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.” “Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”

I know some of us don’t use Facebook, some may even detest the idea of meeting virtually. At this time, I’m really encouraging you to see Facebook Live as the primary way we can stay in touch, meet together with the Word weekly, and even use it for a conduit for fellowship, prayer and worship. It’s not perfect or optimal but it brings us together at this time.

If you typically shun Facebook please consider getting an account temporarily so that you can continue to meet with us as a church family at 10:00am on Sundays. We’ll be meeting this week and back in our series through John, don’t miss it! Find us by searching Facebook for ElevationSC.

Need an Elder’s assistance? Mike@elevationSC.org, Carl@elevationSC.org, Ken@elevationSC.org, and of course you can reach me at chuckk@elevationSC.org

The Elders have been in contact and will meet next week (online) to work on more ways to connect our body, and how to best meet the various needs of the individuals in our church and the greater community. I’m engaged in video meetings and email conversations with a bunch of pastors globally right now. We are working together to find the best practices for church gatherings, the mission, and benevolence in our communities. God is at work in bringing His church together in new ways!!!

Stay healthy, seek ways to bless those around you, open your Bible, and pray in the extra time God may be giving you in your home. Think creatively and share your thoughts with all of us. Seek out what unique OPPORTUNIES God make be providing! Be liquid and be hope-filled.

I love you and Jesus loves you even more,

Your Pastor,

Chuckk

March 2020 Church Service Update

Posted on Mar 14, 2020 in E Happenings, Events, General, News |

Mar '20

After prayer, study, and discussion the Elders of Elevation feel that is is best for us to forgo meeting in person and switch to a live online stream gathering for this Sunday March 15th and the following Sunday March 22nd.

We’re NOT canceling services, we are moving them online to Facebook Live on the Elevation Facebook page for the next two weeks. We will be seeking long-term solutions as we join other churches in the community to protect those most vulnerable to the virus.

This week we’ll have version 1.0 as we learn to live stream, we’ll have opportunities for prayer requests, an encouraging word and a sermon from Chuckk, and links for some other surprise good ministry resources. We will work in the coming week to get to LiveStream version 2.0 and make it even better.

Here is the address and link to click on to get to our live stream remember it will start at 10 o’clock sharp just like our normal service! If you don’t already have a Facebook account, why not get one so you can continue to be part of our community during this interesting and unique time in the life of our church!

https://www.facebook.com/elevationSC/

Love for our community denotes that we protect those most vulnerable and also comply with local leadership who have asked groups to not meet to care for those in danger and to slow the spread.

A good word for the day -Don’t panic, it’s not time for panic -in fact there’s no time to panic for the followers of the mighty king who always sits upon the throne. Pray, serve, love, and seek ways to serve those around you.
