March 18, 2020 - Latest update
Dear Church Family,
We hope you are doing well and staying healthy in mind, body, and spirit. Below you will find detailed information about how FBC Marshall will navigate the weeks ahead. Members of church leadership, including members of the staff, Deacon body, Finance Committee, Personnel Committee and Ministry Council, have prayed over the following operational changes and we feel these decisions are the right ones to make at this time. We commit to staying informed of local and national guidelines that may effect the plan outlined below, and we will make adjustments as necessary.
FBC Marshall Operational Changes
Updates to Keep Us Connected
If you have questions about these updates or if you have a personal need, please contact us to let us know. The Apostle Paul often wrote of his thankfulness to the churches he ministered to, how he prayed for them, and how he longed to be with them for mutual encouragement. These sentiments of Paul are at the heart of your staff now. We love you, we thank God for you, we are praying for you, and we miss being with you face to face. The Message paraphrases Romans 1:10 this way, "I ask God to clear the way for me to come and see you. The longer this waiting goes on, the deeper the ache." How true that feels now. Yet, we trust our God is in control and we know, though the ache of separation is strong, the joy of being together as one in our Lord is greater.
Blessings to you all,
Your Church Staff

Dear Church Family,
In a continued effort to comply with sound recommendations from the medical community and government agencies, we have decided to meet together for WORSHIP ONLY tomorrow morning at 10:30am. This limits our time together to one hour within a room that has ample space to spread out, but allows us to engage in the important work of encouragement and praise. We will focus our Prayers of the People on those affected by the COVID-19 Coronavirus, those working long hours in the medical field, and those in leadership guiding communities all across the globe.
All Core Groups and Sunday night activities for this week are CANCELED. We will continue to update you as we plan for the weeks ahead.
We hope to have Facebook Live up and running for those who cannot, or chose not, to attend.
If you know someone who may not receive our emails or check online sources, please help us get this information to them as soon as possible.
Again, we will meet for WORSHIP ONLY tomorrow at 10:30am.
Grace and Peace,
Your FBC Staff
