CWOC: The Next Two Weeks
By Pastor Tim Hodge
CWOC Faith-Family, these are precarious moments in our nation. Historically, what we are experiencing is not unprecedented. Disease such as influenza has breeched our borders and affected thousands in the past. However, to our generation this is a very different type of day. Last Wednesday an executive order was passed down from our Governor entailing many items. One of which was any assembly of 50 or more people would be prohibited. Mind you, if this had been a recommendation, I would have proceeded with Kingdom business as usual concerning our weekly gatherings for worship, prayer, and discipling. When I read the order, I knew we had to comply due to the Romans 13:1 mandate to submit to the leaders God has placed over us, not only in church life, but also in the government.
CYBER-GATHERINGS
For the next two weeks we will be giving leadership to the CWOC Faith-Family through online services and messages. These will be on all our normal media outlets (website, ROKU, Facebook LIVE, and YouTube Live. Our Sunday morning services will begin at the regular time of prayer (9:30) and will follow with a skeletal crew leading us in worship and ministry of the Word of God. Wednesday nights will be at 7:00. The church doors ARE NOT CLOSED. If at any of these times you feel drawn to assemble with the skeletal crew and draw near to God in prayer at the altar you are free to do so.
TITHES / OFFERINGS
This lack of a corporate assembly does not negate the law of sowing and reaping. The economy of God’s requirements of His tithe being returned to Him are still in operation. Our opportunity to plant seeds of faith are still wide open.
Here are ways you can give through CWOC:
1. On our website (www.cwoconline.org) there is a tab for giving.
2. Snail Mail still works. The address for the church is 2606 Emanuel Church Rd, West Columbia, SC 29170.
3. Church Office. We will maintain the normal office hours Monday – Friday from 9:00am to 4:00pm. You may stop by any time.
These may be challenging times for many; however, I am persuaded God is going to bring something dynamic out of all this. It is imperative for EACH OF US to spend quality time in the Word of God daily and pray to Him as the Holy Spirit directs. Let us have hearing ears to HEAR His voice as He gives us individual directives.
If you need anything, please know we are here for you. We are just a phone call away.
God bless,
Pastor Tim Hodge
