...especially while we're apart.
So much has happened in a short span of time. It’s hard to believe that only weeks ago we were in the midst of rehearsals and making final preparations for our Easter services. But with the arrival of COVID-19 everything has come to a grinding halt. News of the virus has brought sweeping changes to nearly every area of our lives.
We’re now following social distancing protocols, homeschooling our kids, streaming our church services, working remotely, and self-quarantining. Many have lost their jobs and face financial uncertainty in already difficult times. And the 24-hour news cycle only adds to that grind.
This year, Easter will look different for all of us, but despite the pain and tragedy, the church is coming together like never before and is moving beyond its walls. In this time of crisis, when it feels like everything is falling apart, we turn to Jesus. We look to Him as we remember His death and resurrection. We call upon His name knowing that He hears our cries. As we gather online, let His love bind us together – especially while we’re apart. And let’s remember these powerful words:
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33 (NIV)
“For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39 (KJV)
Together in His name,
