A Message From the Leadership & Staff of Shiloh Church

The Leadership and Staff of Shiloh Church have been monitoring the fast-changing developments concerning the COVID19 epidemic. At this time, we believe that we can best do God’s work by doing our part to safeguard the health of our members and visitors and those with whom they will come into contact.  We have decided to follow the advice of our State and National governments to limit social proximity and we will be closing the church to all activity, beginning today (3-16-2020).  This includes all meetings, rehearsals, Bible studies and, yes, assembling for face to face worship.

The staff is already exploring ways that we can continue to be in contact. We are researching different methods that will allow us to worship together utilizing the internet.  We know that there are many different levels of technical ability, or none at all. 

In order to protect our staff and volunteers from close personal contact, nobody will be in the office, but we are planning to be available by phone and answering machine to continue to meet your needs. Please be patient with us as we get all these things up and running.  

This is new territory. These are unforeseen and exceptional times for us all. God is with us and we will get through this together.  My prayers and blessings to each of you as we face together what is to come in the next weeks and months.  Let us continue to pray for each other and take care of each other as our abilities allow.  Let us pray for all those whom this pandemic will affect.  Please give extra prayers for the officials, first responders, and medical professionals who are on the front lines, working to protect us during these difficult times.
