Hello everyone, this is pastor Jeff Duvall with exciting news about our first church service back together here on campus at DVBC. We have refit the gymnasium to be able to have service where everyone sits with their household group at proper distances from others. Hand sanitizer will be available at the entrance and if you would like to, you may bring and wear a mask and gloves. But wearing masks and gloves is up to you. We will be sanitizing the gymnasium before and after service and we will maintain social distancing at all times. We ask that if you are sick or have recently been sick that you do not attend but rather watch the service online at our Facebook page or YouTube channel.We are looking at Sunday May the 3rd as our first Sunday to have service in the new set up. If you would like to be a part of the service and have yet to let us know, we need you to comment below and (1) let us know you are interested and (2) how many are in your group. If you prefer, you can call the church at 706-734-3510 and let one of our staff know or leave us a message. Services are open to members and visitors alike. We will let everyone that expresses interest know of the service times and details next week. If you have any questions please call me at the church. God bless you and we’ll see you soon.
