What I Learned from Reopening Our Church - NAMB

By Pastor Kyle, Alamogordo

namb.net Replant Blog What I Learned from Reopening Our Church Kyle Bueermann06.02.20 This past Sunday, May 31, marked the second week the church I serve as Pastor, First Baptist Church of Alamogordo, New Mexico, was able to meet in-person since the COVID-19 crisis hit New Mexico in mid-March.

First Baptist Church of Tularosa

We are living in turbulent times, but we don't have to be like a ship tossed around by every wave of fear or hostility being thrown our way. Instead, we can remain anchored and steady by the great virtues of I Corinthians 13:13: faith, hope, and love.

Join us for our Wednesday Bible Study as we dive into how to display these three great principles and show the world a faith that can change history. Our Wednesday Study is here: https://fccdl.in/ne10w3a8aH

SPACE.
By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was made from things that are not visible.
Hebrews 11:3 CSB

On Saturday, three of our girls were outside playing in the water, one was reading, my wife was cleaning, and I was writing. We put all of that on pause to come to the TV in the hopes we would see the SpaceX shuttle launch.

And we did!

It seemed as if the further the shuttle got from the earth, the closer our jaws got to the floor. The images were stunning, awe-inspiring, and majestic. And God made all our eyes were seeing...and it only took Him six days!

In a few words over six days, God flung every planet into motion, every star in the sky, and set their course from His throne in heaven.

Here in the mountains, we have an unvarnished view of His creative masterpiece. Each morning at 2:30 AM, the sight of the stars does a far better job at waking me up than my coffee. It just gets me going!

A few hours later, as God paints a work of art with another sunrise, that feeling deepens. By the afternoon, as I see the mountains that encircle us, it stops me in my tracks.

When I stop, which is not that easy for someone that seems to go 100mph 7 days a week, I thank God for placing us in this paradise. Take some time to look around, beloved, at what God created, and know that He who created the heavens, created you, and loves you deeply.

"God, the beauty around us is jaw-dropping. Let me not lose the wonder that You who created all of it, created me, and loves me."

To-do list...

1. Read Genesis 1:1, Isaiah 40:22, and Psalm 19.
2. Take a walk if you are able and take in God's handiwork.
3. Tell at least three people that God loves them.

LifeWay VBS

Today is the National Day of Prayer for VBS. Though it may look at little different this year, VBS is the largest evangelistic outreach for most churches. Here are some ways you can pray for VBS today:

1. Ask for God's blessing over your VBS, whether that is in your home, neighborhood, or church building.

2. Pray for leaders and volunteers. VBS is a lot of work, and this year leaders are being extra-creative in unprecedented circumstances. Pray for the Holy Spirit to be at work in and through them.

3. Pray for the children and families in your church and community that will attend. Ask God to begin preparing their hearts today.

4. Pray for those who will share and those who need to hear the Gospel.

5. Pray for churches around the world who will hold VBS this year. Pray for God's kingdom to be expanded.

We're thanking God in advance for the lives that will be changed through VBS in 2020.

First Baptist Church Ruidoso

Update May 19, 2020----FBC Ruidoso----Guidelines for Re-opening

Since the governor has increased our capacity from 10% to 25% , we have room for up to 100 people in our worship center. We will do our best to accommodate whoever comes for worship. What can you expect? See the following guidelines:
· If you are hesitant or nervous in the least bit about coming, then please stay home and continue to worship online with us. If you have a medical issue that makes you more vulnerable, please stay home and tune in online. Your safety and protection are important to us. On a similar note, if you are sick or feverish, please remain home until you completely recover.
· If you are burning with a desire to worship “in person” and are completely comfortable with the risks, then come worship at 10:45 am.
· Be aware that if we fill to capacity in the worship center, then we will have to direct you to overflow (possible parking lot worship time and yes, I know that is not the same).
· We know this is not ideal so we ask you to be patient with us as we try to maintain our Christian witness and do what is asked of us right now.

I believe the following guidelines will provide the proper environment for our returnees. What can you expect as you return to the church building?
· We will continue social distancing by seating people every other row (families can sit together). We also have overflow areas in the coffee area and out in the mall where we can hold more people. We will also have another overflow area in the youth room. Families with small children can escape to the Parlor area if needed (it will be set up with live streaming and as a kid friendly area.) All these areas will be limited in capacity too. Our last resort is worship in the parking lot (via your personal cellphones or audio streaming from the church building.)
· We will not practice our regular greetings (hand shaking, hugging, holy kissing?) at this current time (we all have different levels of sensitivity toward this pandemic, let us yield our preferences to those who are still sensitive. As believers we must be willing to heed Paul’s advice to “be all things to all people”---yielding our personal preferences to minister the gospel to others.)
· We will take extra precautions with sanitation stations in the rear of the worship center and throughout the mall area (coffee bar, welcome desk, etc…). We will also provide extra cleaning on bathrooms, door handles, and common touch areas. Tissue boxes are placed throughout the worship center and mall area.
· We are encouraging the use of face masks for safety at the governor’s request. The Pastor and others will not be using facemasks while on stage.
· Offering plates will not be passed but plates will be held in back during the exit times (and we have the offering box beside the stairwell going to the children’s ministry area.)
· Greeters will be asked not to hug or shake hands (just for the time being)
· We will not have nursery or kid’s worship for the next few weeks. We will evaluate regularly and update you when we decide to re-start our nursery and kid’s worship. Until then, know that you and your kids are welcome to come sit as a family in corporate worship. We love our kids!
· Our on campus life groups will still not meet in person for the coming weeks (off campus groups will decide when they are comfortable meeting again.) We will continue our zoom meetings and re-introduce Life Groups into the picture at a later time.

We will continue to livestream our services on our website @ www.firstruidoso.com/messages and our First Baptist Ruidoso page. Past services can also be viewed on these pages. We will regularly evaluate as we move into the month of June and make changes prayerfully and responsibly.

If there is any question that you have been exposed to this virus, please use good judgement before coming to church. We encourage you to help us protect our county from a potential outbreak. We are blessed to have you as a part of our church family.

Stay connected to us through our page, Website, Email, and texting. If you don’t currently receive texts from us, please type the word “Connect” to 575-376-9717. You will receive a text response. Follow its instructions.

Thank you for patience during this time of distancing. What a great church family we have! Our family reunion will happen before we know it. Until then, let us take some intentional steps to protect each other and re-open as safely as possible.

Missing my church family but praying for you!

Back Row Radio

Back when BackRowRadio.com first launched, and before we started making our own programming, we featured the amazingly popular "Not Another Baptist Podcast", which has interviewed a countless number of people who are driving ministry in our culture!

Now, we are beyond excited to announce that hosts (and pastors) Matt Henslee & Kyle Bueermann will be returning to Back Row Radio with a short weekly devotional - "Not Another Bible Study" - airing every Tuesday & Thursday during the 10am (ET) hour of our morning show. (It will also play randomly throughout the week.)

Soon, we will also be adding these short devos to a podcast feed you will be able to subscribe to just in case you miss them on our station.

We can't tell you how excited we are to have these guys back on the Back Row!
