This Sunday, Pastor Eric begins the new sermon series, "Settling In."
COVID-19 has turned our world upside down and has left us with a new normal. At some point, the world will have an answer for this pandemic and things will improve. But how do we deal with this new normal? What do you do when it seems like there is no way forward and no way out?

NEWS FROM MISSION PARTNERS
From Hari & Richal, Batulechaur Church in Pokhara Nepal.

Dear Friends,
This is our warm greetings from Pokhara. We are well. The situation of pandemic and natural disaster has not stopped yet.  Many people have lost their lives, house and families. This is very sad. The part of our land around our home has been destroyed due to heavy rainfall. Our compound's wall and some part of land have been damaged.  We have to repair otherwise it might affect other area and house too. Please pray for us so that we could fix this problem on time.

In Him,
Hari and Richal
