What's Happening

On Sunday, January 3, 2021 Dr. Doug McCart was invited to fill the pulpit as the leading candidate to fill the position of Interim Pastor.   After delivering his message and short meeting of the church he was unanimously called to begin as our Interim Pastor starting on Sunday, January 10, 2021.  This is an exciting time for Unity Baptist Church and we look forward to what God has in store for us through Dr. Mac.   Welcome to Unity Baptist Church Dr. Doug McCart and family.   

   We think most of us thought we would be on the downhill side of the Corinavirus by this time; however, it is still running strong!  This means we will have to continue following the directives from the CDC and the governor's office,  Which means we will not be starting Sunday School back as we desired, and at this time we are not sure when we will be starting back.  But it will be as soon as possible.

In the last church council the question came up of when we were going to start Sunday School back up.  Everyone in the room understands the importance of Sunday School and we all want to get back to a regular schedule as soon as possible.  It was decided a few months ago that the Deacons, with input from leadership, would make the decision when we would open up Sunday School.   The Deacons met last Sunday and set a tentative date of Sunday, 11 April 2021 as the date we would restart Sunday School.  This is with the understanding that we will be closely watching what is happening in the community and the state in regards to Covid-19.  We will keep you posted on further developments.   

Also, we have decided that if possible we are going to have a Sunrise Service on Easter Sunday, 4 April 2021 if possible.  We have not worked out the details yet but as soon as we get everything worked out we will let the Church know.  Circle the date on your calendar though as we would not want you to miss the such a special blessing as attending Sunrise Service on Easter Sunday. 

 Finally, we will have to continue practicing Social Distancing and following other guidelines to help keep everyone healthy inasmuch as possible.  In order to do this, we are instituting the following step to keep the flow of traffic moving from the sanctuary to the outside of the building.  Donny and Allison will be standing outside the front doors under the portico to greet and meet folks.  We encourage everyone to move from the Worship Center to the portico as quickly as feasible once the service has ended.  This will help maintain the social distancing directive given from the Governor’s office and the CDC.   Once outside we can huddle up and talk all we want to. 

Also, we are suggesting everyone wear a mask when coming in and out of the Worship Center.  Once you are seated you may remove your mask.  However, this is voluntary, and it is left up to each individual to decide whether to wear a mask or not.  As for the staff, we have been directed to set a good example by wearing a mask in and out of the building.  We do hope you understand.

After last week's sermon by Dr. Mac entitled, "Are you on the frontlines or the sidelines?" there was a victory celebration of sorts.  Dr. Mac was, as is appropriate for a winning coach, doused in, well while it was not gatorade or water, it was a dousing.   See for yourself.  (Reenactment in order to allow pictures to be taken)

  We want to personally thank you on behalf of all church leadership in observing such guidelines.  Please keep everyone in your prayers, especially church leaders.  All the above was approved unanimously by the Deacons, Church Council, and Staff.  God bless and we hope to see you Sunday.
