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.

E In The Trees

Jun '20

The Elder board of Elevation Church has decided to begin to offer a covid-conscious, socially-distanced, outdoor in-person ministry opportunity beginning in July! This new addition to our ministry will provide opportunities to meet live in person or online. This additional service is called “E in the Trees” and will provide a unique opportunity to worship and hear God’s word in a beautiful outdoor setting in Felton!

While there are many differing opinions on Covid-19 and varying levels of familiarity and understanding of the science, our goal as an Elder board is to lead in unity in the same way we want to encourage the body to act towards one another. However, acting in unity does not mean that everyone is the same.

A Personal Note From Chuckk

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
