A Video Message from Senior Pastor TJ Anderson
As you know we are facing a global health situation caused by the Coronavirus outbreak. This is a fluid situation and we are doing our best to keep you informed. The guidelines from the government are changing sometimes moment by moment. For your safety, health officials urge that social distancing is necessary right now.
In light of this, we believe it is our call to respond proactively with prayer and action in order to care for one another and our neighbors in the name of Jesus.
This puts the church in a strange place. We know that in times of fear and panic, God’s people gather together. In times of sudden uncertainty, God’s people need each other. Scripture tell us that we are not meant to be alone. God’s Word also teaches us to honor those in authority over us, which includes our government leaders.
The North Heights leadership team has made the decision not to gather publicly for worship this Sunday, March 15. Instead, we will broadcast our 9am and 10:45am Roseville and 10am Arden Hills worship services at northheights.church/livestream. The 10am Arden Hills worship service will also be broadcasted on the North Heights Facebook page.
We encourage you to worship with us online this Sunday and also join us in prayer. We believe this is a great opportunity to invite your friends, neighbors, relatives, coworkers and anyone else to experience God’s presence through worship and the Word, whether that’s in your living room or theirs.
As of right now, all public events normally held at our Roseville and Arden Hills campuses are cancelled through Tuesday, March 17, including the dance academy and ABKA karate.
At this time North Heights Christian Academy and NEHI Christian Preschool will remain open.
This is a fluid situation, and our Leadership Team will meet early this week to put together a holistic plan of how we will move forward as a congregation over the next few weeks. We will keep you up-to-date through email and at NorthHeights.Church with our plans going forward for worship, classes and events. Visit Breaking News for the latest information.
Here are a few things we want you to remember:
- Pray First
- Trust and know that God has this
- And then take the next right step forward
Please know that we are praying for you. God bless and keep you in this season, and may the love of Jesus give you peace and courage to serve Him and others in this time of need.
