WE WILL FOLLOW THE GOVERNOR’S GUIDELINES IN OUR ASSEMBLING. PLEASE KEEP THESE FOLLOWING CONSIDERATIONS IN MIND, HOWEVER:
1. Systematically read the Bible, and not just randomly search. Don't lose sight of the planned organization God has given each Bible Book. (I have Bible Books outlined at: johntpolkll.com (link to http://johntpolkll.com/biblebooksoutlined)
2. Lay in provisions to "proclaim the Lord's death till He comes" (1 Corinthians 11:26), on the "first day of the week" (Acts 20:7), which includes unfermented grape juice and unleavened bread. Jesus began the Lord's Supper with Passover elements, none of which had any leaven ("yeast") in them (Mark 14:12-26; Exodus 12:14-20). Please make arrangements with the local church to go by for the wafers if you cannot find it at your local grocery.
3. Choose an appropriate worship service to sing, pray, and study along with. (We support and recommend "In Search of the Lord's Way" from Edmond, Oklahoma. Each program is available from their website, or on TV, or on a requested dvd, and has an excellent Bible lesson from Phil Sanders and congregational singing (searchtv.org)
4. Remember when, "On the first day of the week, let each one of you lay something aside" (1 Corinthians 16:2), we may turn it over to our Treasurer, or bring it to our first gathering together after EO#17 expires. Don't forget the convenience of the local church building with separate rooms and times for groups of 9 or less to use. Call and make arrangements.
5. Many Bible based activities are available for use by adults and children. From our brethren, these are free: http://www.johnhurt.com

6. Stay connected with brethren in every way available. (Colossians 3:12-17).
7. Don't ever forget: God is in charge and richly deserves our highest consideration and deepest adoration. "God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, And to be held in reverence by all those around Him." (Psalm 89:7). Since only Christians are priests, it is our sacrifices of prayers, good works, songs, giving, and Bible study that can bless us now. (Hebrews 13:15-17; 1 Peter 2:1-9)
AS SOON AS WE CAN, WE'LL GREET ONE ANOTHER AND WORSHIP GOD!
