FROM PASTOR STEVEN KELLETT

On Thursday, March 19th, we received notice that Governor Mark Gordon issued the following statement: “In cooperation with our State Health Officer, I am ordering the closure of public places for a two-week period to help slow the community spread of COVID-19 in Wyoming.”
Upon reading this directive, Pastor Kellett contacted the Advisory Committee and asked them to pray about our response. After prayer and discussion, the leaders of Manville Community Church ultimately concluded that the best Biblical response for this directive is found in Romans 13:1-2.
Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves.
Because the Governor has not directed us to violate any moral convictions, but has made this directive in the best interest of public safety, we will subject ourselves to this order.
Therefore, Manville Community Church will be suspending public worship services for the next two weeks.
Please know that your leadership team did not come to this decision lightly, but with a pure heart and an honest desire to honor God. We know that there will be some who disagree with this decision, and we understand your position. But we believe that this is the proper action in this situation.
We want to thank everyone for their support and their prayers. Please watch this site for further updates.
God Bless You All.
