Dear members and visitors of First Church of Christ, Scientist, Crystal Lake,
This church membership is opening our doors beginning October 4, to resume Sunday and Wednesday church services - including Sunday school. We will be taking extra human measures of cleaning in accordance with our human governmental recommendations. We will all be wearing face coverings, as well as the whole armor of God. These human steps are not simply concessions, but are obedience to the government recommendations. We are being considerate of others. We are engaging with a temporary, and required, human action to meet a very human, viral enemy.
World thought is in great turmoil (chemicalization) today, which gives us the opportunity to demonstrate a healing pandemic. While the word “pandemic” is often associated with disease, its true meaning is “of all the people” or “universal” according to Webster dictionaries. Goliath, the lions den, the golden calf, the fiery furnace and more are all aligned together in human thought to do best what they seem most capable of – that is to destroy themselves.
In every conflict there is a call to arms. Sometimes the conflict is solitary. Other times it is pandemic. This conflict is both. We must raise the standard and bear the arms of pandemic Love. We will demonstrate, not as a gathering of boisterous protesters, but as a gathering of loving healers.
With gratitude we expectantly look forward to seeing you,
Board of directors, First Church of Christ, Scientist, Crystal Lake
