Coronavirus COVID 19 Update 4/2/20
Going off the recommendations made by our President and our Governor we will NOT be having services this Sunday (4-5-20.) The suspension of service will continue indefinitely. I pray we will be able to get back together by the first of May, but we will continue to monitor the situation and follow the advice that is coming from the experts. It continues to break my heart that we are unable to gather as a church family and worship. We will continue to do the best we can to upload worship services to our church Facebook page and YouTube.
I want to encourage you to continue to be safe. Limit your interaction with other people. The more we practice social distancing, the faster we can hopefully get back together. I also want to encourage you to continue to pray for those that are on the front line fighting this virus and those affected by it.
I love you church and I hope that this finds you and your love ones doing well. If you have needs, please reach out to us and let us know. God Bless!
For the Glory of Christ,
Joel Laseter
Pastor
I hope this finds you well.
Not much to report to you right now, but we have established online giving. The link can be found on our church website's homepage. This will be beneficial for us as a church even after the pandemic has passed.
We will be posting services online for you to watch at any time. These are prerecorded services and they will be posted to our church's youtube page. There is a link to our page in the top right corner on the Home Page.
Here is this past Sunday's (3/22/20) video.

Coronavirus Protocol Update for Webb Baptist Church
These are unprecedented times in our nation’s recent history. As new information comes to light we have to make the best decisions in reaction to the spread of this virus and to be proactive in preventing more harm. Our national and state officials are advising limiting gatherings of people greater than 50. With these recommendations in mind, please see our action plan below:
I love you church! I will greatly miss gathering with you, but I looking forward to serving Christ along with you in these days to come. Again, notify us with any needs that you have and we will continue to update you as we can. God Bless!
For the Glory of Christ,

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Protocol for Webb Baptist Church
We will still be holding our normal services for the foreseeable future. I urge you to use all normal precautions when facing a virus. If you are sick, been around sickness, or feel like you are starting to “come down with something” then please stay home. You are not a spiritual superhero because you came to church sick. You are actually doing more harm towards the church than help. If you think you are a risk for others then love your neighbor (Matt. 22:39) by staying home and self-quarantine.
Other measures to take: feel free to avoid handshakes, hugs, face touches (that should go without saying), if you have a cough then do so in your elbow, not your hands (or stay at home), and as always no “greeting with a holy kiss.”(2 Cor. 13:12) Also, getting upset because “so and so didn’t shake your hand” is not allowed in church during flu/Coronavirus season and shouldn’t be allowed outside of those seasons either.
This is a big one: PLEASE WASH YOUR HANDS! You should always be doing this, but even more so now. Like, really wash your hands; soap, water, and take your time. Remember James 4:8 “Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. CLEANSE YOUR HANDS, YOU SINNERS, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”
Finally, may we take a posture of faith not fear and an approach of wisdom not foolishness to this pandemic. Our Sovereign God is still on the throne and the church still belongs to Him. At the very least, if the worst case is to happen, may we be found faithful in all things at all times to our all in all, Christ.
I love you, church and I will continue to monitor the situation and update our plans if things change. Be safe and be faithful.
For the Glory of Christ,
Joel Laseter
Pastor
