Dear Friends,

Words aren’t enough to express my gratitude or to say how proud I am of you. You are all digging deep into faith, hope and love in these challenging times. That’s what trials do. They are earthquakes that test our faith. We say that Jesus is good, loving and faithful but when we get a seismic jolt of this magnitude our words and faith are tested. Let’s press through together and help each other pass the test.

How do we do church when the church can't meet? It's happening through phones, emails, Zoom conferencing, social media and online presentations. I want to share with you the many resources we already have in place and let you know we are working hard to develop even more ways to connect with one another and meet the needs in our church body and community. Scroll down for all the details.

Let's continue to fix our eyes on Jesus and pray for one another. "God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble." (Psalm 46:1) The Lord is with us. He is mighty and He is good.

Keep shining,
Mark
