Greetings Church family in Jesus’ name,

You are not alone! Last Sunday in worship we talked about the loneliness so many are feeling during This Journey and how that feeling can lead to despair; but also how with the Lord’s perspective we can experience solitude instead which can lead to even closer communion with Jesus through His Holy Spirit. If you missed it, you can watch here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7jYiEo5Tok.

This coming Sunday, April 26th, we will talk about fear in the context of This Journey we are on together. As a bit of a teaser, we’ll read
1 John 4:8 “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear…” We’ll talk about what place, if any, fear has in our lives and how a relationship with Jesus can get us through this and every valley! Join us in worship this Sunday here https://www.facebook.com/murphysboroumc/

Friends, let’s work together to share the hope we have in Jesus Christ as far and wide as possible during this time. I encourage each of you to like, comment on and share each of our worship services on Facebook. This causes Facebook’s algorithm to make more and more people see our worship service in their feed! With just a few taps on your phone or click of the mouse we can help spread the Gospel together!

Reminders and Encouragements: 

  1. One happy word: the UMC Board of Ordained Ministry made their final approval of all my (Pastor Danny’s) final written work and interviews, so I am officially recommended for full ordination as an Elder at Annual Conference (August 15th)
  2. No in person gatherings indefinitely and our facilities remain closed (no office hours may be kept by pastors or staff) per Bishop’s orders.
  3. Worship together! Our LIVE Worship streams on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/murphysboroumc/ and will be posted to our YouTube channel shortly after.
4.Please continue to give!

5.If you’re in need and cannot get assistance, don’t hesitate to
call or email the church office and we’ll do what we can to help.

God be with you till we meet again, in Jesus’ Name, amen!

Many blessings in Jesus’ name,
Pastor Danny
