Following the wisdom of Scripture and love for our brothers and sisters in Christ and for the well-being and safety of our Island community we as a church will be following the directives of  our national, State, and local officials by keeping our social interactions to a bare minimum.

Therefore we have made the hard choice to suspend all church gatherings including Sunday services and small group studies, and the closing of the church and the church office.  

Although these decisions may appear to be counter to our calling as believers or as a weakening of our trust in God we see it as obedience to the teachings of Paul in Romans 13 that call us to be submissive to government in recognition of the authority they have been given by God to protect the innocent. We also believe that during this time social distancing is one of the clearest ways that we can show love and compassion to those in our community who are most at risk.

As you find more time on your hands during this Lenten season we encourage you to read through the Passion Week as recorded in the Gospel of John, starting with chapter 12 through chapter 21.  These are powerful words that reflect God’s love for us through troubling times.

Many of you regularly give to the support of the church online or through the mail by check and we ask that you faithfully continue as God provides.  If you normally give your gifts at one of the services you can access ways to give online through the church website or by sending a check by mail to PO Box 98, Avalon CA 90704.

We love you and are praying for you and we are available to you by phone or text to answer your questions and to pray and counsel with you.  Please contact us with your needs!
