Sisters and Brothers,
Pastor Erik here, sending grace, mercy, and peace to you from God our Creator, from Jesus the Christ, and from the Holy Spirit, who holds us in community even when we’re unable to be physically together in one place.
We are living through an extraordinary time right now, as our region and the world grapple with the spreading coronavirus—COVID-19. It’s a time of high anxiety with many unknowns. In conformity with recommendations made by the Health Department, we have cancelled our education classes and worship service for today, March 8th, as well as our Wednesday evening meal and prayer service on March 11th.
Since we cannot be together this morning in worship, I wanted to share some encouragement with you today by reflecting on this moment through the lens that the Scriptures and our faith provide. And so, attached to this post you’ll find a message I recorded this morning. I invite you to open the recording some time today, and listen to what I want to share with you.
I will be at the church from 9:30am to Noon today, Sunday March 8, in the event you’d like to talk or pray.
Peace be with you.
Pastor Erik
