All regular ERCC activities will resume beginning Wednesday, June 3rd, with the exception of Sunday morning “Wee Church” for toddlers.  However, the nursery will be open on Sunday mornings for children between 0 and 3 yrs old.   Sunday morning worship services will not be presented online, but a CD of the sermon can be requested.

Wednesday Bible Study (7 pm), Men’s Prayer Breakfast on Saturday mornings (8 am), Sunday School Classes, (9 am),  Sunday Morning Worship Service (10 am), and Sunday Evening (7 pm) gatherings all resume regular June schedules.   However, whenever we gather we ask attendees to comply with the following COVID-19 guidelines:

1. We love you, but if you have a fever, coughing, sneezing, nausea, achiness, or any flu-like symptom, please stay home!

2. Face masks are welcome, but not required.

3. Maintain 6 feet separation from non-family members, to the greatest extent possible.

4. Greet others using a smile and wave!   Avoid physical contact such as hugging, shaking hands, and “high fives”.

5. Junior Church and the nursery are open in June, but “Wee Church” is closed until July. Children older than nursery age but younger than Jr Church age should sit with their parents.

6. Every other row of pews in the auditorium is closed. Family members are encouraged to sit together, but sit at least 6 feet from others.

7. Restrooms are open, but please limit use (if possible).

8. Hand sanitizer is available.

9. During the communion time, a server will bring the elements to you by walking through the closed rows.

10. Bibles and Hymnals have temporarily been removed from the pews, so bring your own Bible!

11. The coffee bar is closed, so bring your own caffeine!

12. The water fountains are off, but small bottles of water are available.

If you have any questions about our reopening, send an email to: admin@eversroadchristianchurch.org

We look forward to seeing everyone again during all of our regular church activities!

• Saturday Clean-up Day

With the “Stay at Home” order that is now in effect for San Antonio, the worship service at ERCC on Sunday, March 29th will ONLY be available online.  A live stream of an entire service will be offered via the internet.  Do not come to the church on Sunday.  Obey the direction to stay at home, but watch the service live via the internet. During the city’s stay at home order, this is the only way churches are allowed to present a service.

Last Sunday we were only able to present Phillip’s sermon, but we now have the license required to include music in our live stream, so the plan is to present a “normal” worship service, as much as practical. The only thing missing will be ya’ll!

The link for the live stream will be posted shortly before 10:00 am on Sunday at:  facebook.com/erccsa

The service will include the ‘Lords Supper”, so if you desire to participate you must provide the communion elements yourself.  A small piece of bread or cracker, and a small cup with grape juice, or whatever you have is fine.  Although physically separated from your ERCC brothers and sisters, you can still participate at the same time with them during this special portion of our worship service.

Also, since we won’t be able to accept your tithes and offerings at the church, giving online using the “Tithely” program is an excellent option you’re encouraged to consider.   You can check out those methods under the “Giving Methods” option on the menu above. 

Check our website (www.eversroadchristianchurch.org) for any updates during the week and please consider subscribing to our text message program to receive ERCC news directly on your smart phone.  See the Text Message menu option above to subscribe.

With all the over-talking about COVID-19, let me point you to the Word of God for some thoughts that are much needed today.

These are uncertain times, aren’t they? The Bible records many times when the nation of Israel or Judah were in such uncertainty that they doubted they would survive. One such time was during the life time of Habakkuk. He lived through the invasion of Judah by the Babylonians. He knew the godlessness of the Kingdom of Judah and he knew they were being punished for their disobedience to the Law of Moses. Evil was simply overwhelming in his day. So, Habakkuk takes the peoples’ questions to God about “Why?”

The book ends with what I consider one of the most memorable statements of faith in God in the entire Bible. Here it is:

Yet I will wait patiently for the day of calamity to come on the nation invading us. Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, thought the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.   Habakkuk 3:16b-18

God rarely explains the “Why?” of what he is doing. But He always encourages his people to trust him, not what they can see. It would seem to be a lesson designed for us today. We cannot see the future, but by faith we can see Him who holds the whole world and all of time in His hands. People of faith trust the loving Father more than they trust their understanding of the events around them. That sounds like a good idea for us today, doesn’t it?

Live Stream video from ERCC will begin at 10:00 am with Phillip providing the sermon.  Due to copyright restrictions, we cannot broadcast the song service, so the sermon will be presented by Phillip FIRST at 10:00 am.  After he is finished, the live stream will end.

This option is being provided for those at High Risk to COVID-19 and those who are uncomfortable attending in person at this time. 

A Link to the live stream video will be on posted on Facebook before 10:00 am at:

For Those Attending in Person

We will NOT have Sunday School, Junior Church, Wee Church, or a nursery available.  Children can remain with you in the sanctuary during the service.  Also, there be NO Sunday Evening services.

 There are 3 questions posted  in the lobby that you must answer “NO” to before entering.

Additionally:

• Everyone is asked to avoid physical contact.
  • No handshakes, hugging, “fistbumps”, etc.
  • Welcome Waves are encouraged!
• Maintain social distancing (6 feet) as much as practical.
  • Don’t congregate with non-family members
  • Sit in alternating pews, away from other family groups
• All common surfaces (door handles, tables, etc) have been disinfected.
  • However, wash your hands after the service

The order of the service will be slightly to accommodate the live video streaming
     – Welcome/Announcements
– Sermon presented by Phillip
– Song Worship led by Chris
– Communion and Offering worship led by Edward
– Dismal by Phillip

The communion trays will not be passed by attendees.  A tray with the communion cups and a single piece of bread inside another cup will be offered to you by a server wearing gloves.

Offering trays will not be passed, but will be located in the back of the auditorium.

Please excuse us if things don’t go smoothly during this unique time!
