President Edwards Statement
Greetings to the CMBSC Family
There was an artist who wrote the lines to a tune which said, “The Times They Are A- Changin,” and indeed they are. So swiftly the times morph provoking uncertainty and stoking fear. Plagued now with a pandemic, the world reels to and fro in a quandary as to what measures to take. That quandary has impacted the churches as well. How do we ensure the health and safety of our congregants? What are the best practices for these times? Do we give in to fears? Are we showing lack of faith if we adhere to the recommendations of officials?
