Dear Bay Area Family,

I pray you and your family and friends are well.

In the near future we will continue to worship together and gather in groups ONLINE only. Join us at www.bayarea.church/live for worship each Sunday at 9:30 and 11:00 AM. This Sunday we will continue our CERTAIN FUTURE series as we talk about as subject rarely discussed but clearly sure in the Bible: Hell. I think this may be the first time I have ever preached a message completely focused on Hell. Studying Hell actually is giving me great hope in Christ. I think you will find hope too.

What about Re-Opening Church? Our executive team (Pastor Brian, Pastor Zac, Greg Plummer, and Dr. Jason Nave) and our ministry team are working diligently behind the scenes to craft a Re-Opening plan allowing us to further our vision to saturate the region with the gospel and give our church family good options for gathering in worship and group environments that are both safe and engaging. Believe it or not Re-Opening is rather complicated. We will be presenting a preliminary plan to our Elders on May 6 for consideration. We all long to be together. Please be patient and we will keep you updated.

Keep Drinking. Jesus said anyone who is thirsty should come to him and drink. Join me on the Bay Area Church FaceBook page at 7 PM each Thursday. I will give you an update on Bay Area Church and Christian School as it relates to COVID-19. I will also share a biblical picture from the context of Scripture that speaks to me especially in this season. Join us!

You are loved!

Pastor Brian
