EMC Preschool Closed for the Remainder of School Year

March 23, 2020Coronavirus, NewsEMC Admin

From EMC Preschool Director, Chelsea Wortman:

The EMC Preschool Board is following what Roy Cooper, the NC Governor, orders for NC Public Schools due to COVID-19. He announced today that schools will be closed through May 15, 2020. Since EMC Preschool’s last day is May 22, the school will unfortunately be closed through the remainder of this school year. We are very sad, but believe this is the right decision. We love and miss all our preschool families so much! This is no surprise to God and we can trust Him during this time of uncertainty.

North Carolina Governor, Roy Cooper, has issued an executive order directing all public schools to close for students on Monday, March 16 for at least two weeks. The EMC Preschool Board has decided to close EMC Preschool for the next 2 weeks as well. We apologize for the inconvenience, but believe this is the right decision given the circumstances.

UPDATE: Check out the livestream of Sunday’s worship service below:

North Carolina Governor, Roy Cooper, has issued an executive order banning all public gatherings of 100 or more people effective immediately. In collaboration with the Board of Stewards, the EMC ministry staff has decided to cancel all Sunday morning activities at the church for Sunday, March 15.

We will continue to monitor this news and weigh its implications in order to make informed decisions concerning other church activities beyond tomorrow morning. All news and updates will be posted right here on EMC’s website, as well as via email and Facebook.

The ministry team is currently working on putting together a makeshift worship service to be conducted online via Facebook Live. The details of that will be posted as soon as they are complete. Even though we are not able to come together in person, we can still come together virtually.

Please continue to pray for our church, our community, our state and nation and all of our leaders, as well as the rest of the world. We will pull through this together with the Lord as our rock and our refuge and our strength!

2020 Easter Schedule of Events

March 1, 2020NewsEMC Admin

You and your family are invited to join Evangelical Methodist Church for Easter worship on Facebook Live on April 12 at 10:00 am!

Join us in sharing your #JesusChangedMyLife story.

Create a one- to two-minute video of yourself sharing your testimony of how Jesus changed your life. Here are some tips on how to tell your story, as well as selfie video best practices (see also here). Include an invitation at the end of your video for others to believe in Jesus, and welcome them to follow up with you or another Christian community for help in this difficult season. If you don’t want to share a video of yourself, feel free to just write your testimony in a social-media post!
Share the video on social media sometime this week. Be sure to use hashtag #JesusChangedMyLife and tag EMC in your post (e.g. #JesusChangedMyLife @ECityEMC) so people can learn more about Jesus through a local church.
Pray that the resurrection power of Jesus on display in these videos would inspire many to tune into a service on Easter and begin their own #JesusChangedMyLife journeys.
