Churches in Red River Parish are reading over the latest changes to the Stay at Home order to decide when and how they will be able to once again offer services in their sanctuary.  Here is the latest information available to The Journal.

At Cowboy Church they began to gather last Sunday.  The church posted, “Church in the dirt was fantastic Sunday! If you missed it, join us next week! We have park-and-worship available too! Thank you to all of our leadership team that made this possible!”

Bro. James Hester’s church family is going inside.  Social Springs Baptist Church will be holding Sunday services in our sanctuary this Sunday, May 17, 2020 at 11am and 6pm. All necessary precautions will be taken for the health and safety of all who attend. Also, we will continue to stream our services on Facebook for those who are at-risk and/or unable to attend.

First Methodist and Wesley Chapel United Methodist Churches held their first drive-up churches.  Members parked near the church and listened to Pastor Curtis Carroll on their vehicles radio.  Meanwhile Methodist Bishop Cynthia Fierro Harvey has put out a video urging the church to delay reopening until Pentecost.  Harvey said she relies on the rule of “do no harm” in deciding to wait two more weeks until the end of May.

Abundant Life Worship Center gathered in the large parking lot in front of their church last Sunday morning.  People worshiped from their cars.

This Sunday is memorial day for Hickory Grove Baptist!!!k. The church posted, “As of right now I have not been told that we will be having Church Service (I will definitely let ya’ll know when I know).”
