WE’RE OPEN! It’s Time to Come Home!

Dear LifeBridge members, families, and friends.

We have been open, having services now for one year after our brief closure in the Spring of 2020.

We took several measures to keep families safe while still giving you the chance to worship. Some of these changes included closing the café entrance, changing our chair spacing for the service, and changing to individual communion cups.

To our knowledge no one caught Covid 19 while attending our services. We have been Blessed!

We have now reopened the café entrance for our snacks and fellowship time and our chairs are beginning to get a little closer together. Although we will still be using the individual communion cups for now, will return to having a prayer partner behind the chairs for anyone needing that personal time with a prayer partner starting on July 4th!

Thank you for your continued prayers and financial support during the past year as we look for to a much more normal LifeBridge Sunday worship!

Also, I would like to remind everyone that in October we will need to fill position for the Management Team and Board of Elders. You must be a member to be elected. Please visit Pastor Scott (713/965.6761) or any current member of those positions to learn more.

Serving Christ,
Alan Boehm,
Elder Chairman

NEW COVID NOTIFICATION — June 26, 2020

We have some important information to share with you. Here’s the short of it (with details below):

  1. Our Elder, Giles Montgomery, has tested negative for COVID-19!
  2. Pastor Scott’s test results are pending.
  3. Elder, Brackston Nutt may have been exposed 14 days ago.

GILES MONTGOMERY

We praise God for His goodness and that Giles’ test results have come back negative!

PASTOR SCOTT & FAMILY

Pastor Scott’s tests have, likewise, come back negative! We praise God for that! Even so, Pastor is preparing for simple outpatient surgery on Monday and needs to be isolated, as much as possible. He will not interact with anyone before, during, or after worship and when not in the pulpit, will sit isolated by the southwest door of the sanctuary. Before arriving he will also be gloved.

Jennifer’s tests are pending. However, it has been 11 days since possible exposure and no one in the family has exibited any signs or symptoms. Even so, Jennifer and Ben will not be at worship.

BRACKSTON NUTT

May have been exposed 14 days ago. He shows no signs the probability of his infection is very low. Even so, he will not be at worship this Sunday out of an abundance of caution.

We at LifeBridge continue to take precautionary measures with our sanitizing and cleaning, distancing, and the like, making sure we are proving a safe environment for you and your family. We want people to join us in worship, but only as they feel safe and comfortable.

Of course, we ask that you practice the same precautions so as not to potentially expose others. If you have been exposed to COVID-19 or have any symptoms of sickness, please stay home and join us online for worship. We will miss you, yet we thank you for helping to keep others safe.

Please keep people in your prayers during this very trying time!

Thank you, God bless, and have a great day, knowing the Lord is with you!

IMPORTANT COVID NOTIFICATION — UPDATED

Greetings in the name of the Risen and Reigning Lord, Jesus!

I have some important information to share with you.

One of our Elders extraordinaire, Giles Montgomery, informed us that a fellow coach has recently tested positive for COVID-19.

If you have been in worship at LB since we reopened, you will have noticed him masked and practicing social distancing. In addition, his exposure level with the other coach is not considered high.

Out of an abundance of caution, Giles will be self-quarantining along with the rest of the Sealy ISD athletic department.

He will return after his quarantine and testing negative for Covid-19.

Also, it has just come to our attention that Pastor Scott Heitshusen and his family may have been exposed to someone on Monday who is currently being tested. Results from that test will not be known until the early part of next week. (This would be, of course, after last Sunday’s worship and picnic.)

Pastor and his family will not be at worship Sunday out of an abundance of caution. Our very capable and wonderful, Brackston Nutt, will cover the message and Elders will take care of Holy Communion.

We at LifeBridge continue to take precautionary measures with our sanitizing and cleaning, distancing, and the like, making sure we are proving a safe environment for you and your family. We want people to join us in worship, but only as they feel safe and comfortable.

Of course, we ask that you practice the same precautions so as not to potentially expose others. If you have been exposed to COVID-19 or have any symptoms of sickness, please stay home and join us online for worship. We will miss you, yet we thank you for helping to keep others safe.

Please keep Giles, his family, and the Sealy ISD athletics department in your prayers – as well as the rest of our country and world during this difficult time.

Thank you, God bless, and have a great day, knowing the Lord is with you!
