Dear Friends,

Once again, the virus is surging and we are being asked to shut down in-person worship. This does not come as a surprise to most of us I believe. This is our civic duty from both a health standpoint and as a visual for our community.

We will continue to stream our services on Zoom and Facebook as we have throughout this pandemic. So please join us Sunday at 10 AM. As usual we will be emailing the necessary information to access the service so please expect to receive it.

The Israelites waited for four hundred years to be freed from Pharaoh’s grasp, so a little longer away from our home doesn’t seem like so much to ask. God never abandoned them and will not abandon us and our community. In many ways people are experiencing God up close and personal in special ways during this time. Often hard times open us to the revelations that God has for each of us. So, keep your eyes open for the wonders that await.

In the meantime, please know that the love of God and our love for each other will carry us through, and we will see each other in the near future once again. If you have any comments, concerns, or just want to share please contact me.

Faithfully,

Bill+
