Christ The King Church

Dear Saints of Christ the King Church,

After prayer, deliberation, seeking counsel from other church leaders, and giving due consideration to the evolving situation and the mandate of the Springfield City Council not to meet in groups of 10 or more, we have decided to cancel our worship service this coming Sunday, March 23, chiefly out of love for vulnerable members in our communities (Mark 12:31; Philippians 2:4; Galatians 6:2, 10; Colossians 3:12) and out of respect for our civil authorities (Romans 13:1-5; 1 Peter 2:13-17).

As things develop in Missouri, the US, and the world, we’ll continue to evaluate what we believe is the most faithful decision regarding our Sunday services, and we’ll keep you posted. It looks as though we will need to suspend services for the next 2-4 weeks.

During this time of “fasting” from corporate worship and Christian fellowship with the broader assembly, we encourage you to spend extra time meditating prayerfully on Scripture, praying with close friends and family members, resting, and reflecting on both the kindness and severity of God (Romans 11:22). Let this brief absence of our gathered worship remind you of the joy and privilege we have to worship before the Lord as a congregation regularly. Continue to pray for our country and our leaders (1 Timothy 2:1-4). Look for opportunities to relieve the burdens of others (Acts 11:27-29).

We are praying for you. Be on the lookout for further updates in the coming days. Please let us know if you have any needs. Make sure that you read the letter of exhortation that we sent out on Friday, March 13, if you have not yet. (attached)

In Christ’s peace,
The Elders of Christ the King Church

Be careful if you’re on the roads tomorrow morning!
