The Rock Pastors want to update you on where we
are, in response to the rising concerns about the COVID-19 (coronavirus) in
Salt Lake City and the United States.
First of all, in an effort to ensure a healthy and safe environment for our
entire church family, and in an effort to adhere to Governor Herbert’s recent
request that large group meetings be limited to 100 people or less, we have
decided to suspend all Rock Church
services and large group meetings from now through the end of March.
We have been closely following the news related to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) the last few weeks. Like many of you, we are thinking and praying about how to best prepare and protect our families and church. Some of you have asked what The Rock Church is doing (specifically) to prepare?
So i thought about this and how exposed are the older adults to this pandemic virus and the special cares they might because they are in high risk of getting infected.
As your pastors, foremost, we have been praying for God’s protection and guidance (Philippians 4:6-7). We must remember that the Lord is in charge of these events and they don’t change His love and care for us. With that said, He also directs us to prepare in the face of danger (Nehemiah 4:9).
Thank you so very much for praying for my family and supporting us in so many practical and loving ways. It’s incredibly humbling, to say the least.
Please note that we started a CaringBridge journal to help document the upcoming medical challenges we will most likely face. We want to try to channel the many inquiries many of you have had and do have. For the latest updates from our family, you can simply go to the CaringBridge home page and type in stevemcinroy2.
