Word of Life Family and Friends
As you may have heard, Rockwall County issued its “Stay at Home” Order for our county beginning March 25, 2020. This order mandates that church services or worship services can only be done online or by video. This means that for the next few weeks we will not be able to have services at our facility.
Because of these changes, I will be broadcasting my messages on Facebook Live from home just like we do our Bible Study. I will broadcast at 6:30 pm on Saturday nights until we are able to meet again in our regular facility. I am hoping we will be able to do that on Saturday April 11th, our Easter service.
As you know, church expenses do not stop just because we cannot meet together at the facility. I encourage you to be faithful in your tithes and offerings even while we are not meeting.
You can mail your checks to the church at Word of Life, P.O. Box 675, Rockwall, TX 75087. Or, if you prefer, you can call or text Pastor Dwila with your credit/debit card information and she can process your offerings that way.
We believe that no plague comes near your dwelling and we also believe that we will be meeting together soon. We will keep in touch. We love you. Remember what I always tell you, “”Whatever comes, we Overcome!”
Be BLESSED & remember NO FEAR here just FAITH today & in days to come! Pastor Rick Flynn
