Dear Co-laborers in Christ:

The Northern Neck Baptist Association and its Commissions stand with you in love and faith during this challenging and unfamiliar season.

We are praying for you and your families daily. Notwithstanding, please know that your health and safety are our highest priorities.

We strongly encourage you to continue following the CDC guidelines for social
distancing, staying home, and hand washing.

Due to the guidance by Governor Northam, there should not be a gathering of more than 10 people to help prevent the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).

The Northern Neck Baptist Association would suggest that we cease our usual way of gathering and creatively develop innovative means of ministry and mission. Many
churches have moved to streaming, drive-thru worship, prayer lines, conference call worship, conference call Bible study to name a few.

At the conclusion of this Coronavirus pandemic, which appears to be months to come, there will be a new normal. As we go through the process of the creation of this new normalcy, our opportunities have increased to evangelize as we meet the needs of others. Our opportunities have also increased to partner one with another, and also with the philanthropic and other charitable communities.

What the devil meant for evil, God will change to good. Stay Safe!!!!
