Dear Olivet family,

The West Michigan area, especially Muskegon and Ottawa Counties, is the hotbed for new COVID infections right now.  Our hospitals are overwhelmed, medical personnel are being impacted by long hours and getting sick themselves.  In our own church family, we have a number of people with COVID right now.  It is a critical situation that we want to recognize and not make worse.

Beginning THIS Sunday and at least through Sunday, November 29, our services will be livestreamed but online only.  The worship team, tech team and participating pastors and staff members will present the service from the Harvey worship center but only they will be present.  The service will go live on YouTube at 10AM Sunday morning. You can watch the service here- ‘Watch’@Olivetefc.org

This does mean that children’s ministry and youth ministry will go back to providing digital content and we are limiting events taking place in our buildings to keep people safe.  Pastor Justin and Mary will be reaching out to youth, children and their parents with more information.

Please be in prayer for our church family, medical workers who are stretched to the limit right now, and all in our community who are impacted by these developments.
