Sellwood Church Update on Modified Schedule Due to Coronavirus
In keeping with the new recommendations from our national government, the elders of Sellwood Church have decided to cancel all group gatherings until further notice. While nothing can adequately replace us gathering together as a church the way God intends us to, we are going to connect with each other in the following ways in the coming weeks.
-
Here is the link to the Sunday morning Youtube Live from the pastor's study at our normally scheduled corporate worship time of 10 am. Pastor Jeff will preach the sermon he prepared for the church, and one of the other pastors will lead us in a pastoral prayer. Here is a link to a YouTube playlist for songs to sing at home after the livestream and throughout the week in private and family worship.

Our connection via video or phone is not a substitute for the covenanted congregation assembling together. Connecting in the ways listed above serves us as a crutch while we a providentially prohibited from gathering. We prayerfully look forward to the days when we do not need to be served by the crutch of video, and we can properly meet together as a church once again.
Your elders are praying for you. Please don’t hesitate to make your needs known to us as we seek to be the church together, ensuring to the best of our ability that there is no needy person among us. And remember the promise of Christ, “I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:20)
