Dear FBC Lyons Church Family: 

After much prayer and constant discussion over the last several days we have decided to cancel services for the next two weeks. This decision was not made lightly and in this we want to (1) honor God in everything we do, (2) respect our governing officials, who have urged extreme caution and safety, and (3) love our neighbors, many of whom, like the elderly and the very young are particularly vulnerable to COV. While God has not given us the spirit of fear, He has called us to love one another and to contribute to the welfare of the community. Exercising caution is not only wise but is a tangible way of expressing love toward others. 

While this absence of large group gathering is taking place, it is our hope that something very special will also happen at home. We hope that you will use this time for (1) prayer for the nation and those who have been affected by the virus. (2) Engage in a family bible study, which will be provided by the church either by paper or digital format for you to use each week. We will keep you posted via website, face book, text and email of any changes, updates etc. 

Once again, all church activities including children, youth and adults, whether on campus or off campus have been canceled and normal activities are presumed to start back Sunday April 5th. If you have any questions, please contact the office or one of the pastors so we can assist you in any way possible.
