A Voice in the Wilderness

2020-06-11


A quick update

And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.  Acts 2:42

There are many references in the scriptures to the blessings of God’s people gathering together.

Many of you have been wondering when we will get back to worshiping in person. We all miss seeing each other, singing together, the fellowship, our beautiful sanctuary, and sharing communion.

A small task force is meeting to discuss what steps we need to take before we can return to in-person gatherings. Our current sense is that we are not yet ready to open our buildings.

In the meantime, were are purchasing touch-less hand sanitizer dispensers, masks, and cleaning supplies so that when we are able to gather again we can do so in as safe a way as possible.

This group will continue to meet and monitor our situation.

While we await our return to in-person gatherings, I encourage you to continue to join in with us via Zoom on Saturday evenings, Sunday mornings, and on Wednesdays for worship, fellowship, and bible study.

And while we wait… “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works… (Heb 10:23-24)

love_one_another

While we spur one another on to love and good works, we might do well to reflect on the following passage of scripture:

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends…  1Corinthians 13:4-8a

 

Blessings,

Matthew+

A word about giving

We recognize that there are a lot of folks who have been hit hard during this crisis and are grateful to the generosity of this community.

Some of you have asked what to do with your regular pledge and offering while we are not gathering together on Saturdays and Sundays. You may mail them to the church (we are picking up the mail every day) and we will put them in the offering plate and bless them during the service. You might also consider using bill-pay through you local bank if they offer that service.
