Regathering
2020-06-28 10:45 - 12:00, 2020-07-05 10:45 - 12:00 UTC
Regathering
Thank you to everyone who completed our Church Family Survey. This week I met with our Deacons to discuss our Regathering Plan. This plan is based on prayer, the survey results and guidance from local, state, and national authorities.
Our motivation is love for God and love for our neighbors. The state of Florida is currently in Phase 1 of reopening and headed to Phase 2 soon. In the diagram below the National Guidelines and our Church’s Response are listed.
We will Regather when our state enters Phase 2. During this phase groups of 50 are permitted when social distancing and caution is used. While there is no way to predict when our state will begin Phase 2, we have decided on a Regathering date based on the best information we currently have.
On Sunday Morning, June 28, we will have a “Soft Regathering.” If you are interested in worshipping in person with us on June 28, at 10:45am, please reply to this email and let us know you are coming or email me at pastor@fbcmonticello.org. Then, on July 5, we will Regather for Worship. We are developing a plan to keep our church family safe when we Regather. We will describe that plan in detail when we get closer to our Regathering dates.
Take a look at the whole Phased Regathering Plan
Phases Regathering Plan
We are praying that as we Regather for Worship the ministry God has done in our lives during the pandemic will effect our worship, our gathering and the closeness of our church family. We miss each other! We need each other!

The Chosen Season 4
Join us Wednesday nights for the Chosen. We will view and discuss season 4 of this series.
Clashing kingdoms. Rival rulers. The enemies of Jesus close in while His followers struggle to keep up, leaving Him to carry the burdens alone.
Threatened by the reality of Jesus’ growing influence, religious leaders do the unthinkable – ally within their Roman oppressors. As the seeds of the betrayal are planted and opposition to Jesus’ message turns violent, He’s left with no alternative but to demand His followers RISE UP.
