Good job getting through a week of home time, screen time, and hopefully, quieter time.
In Fellowship, we’ve been talking about spiritual Rhythms to get you through life’s rocks and rolls. Now is the time for devoting energy to these. In the summers, many of us have traveled to quieter places and to simpler times. Now, the place for this lifestyle is here.
Amidst the news of numbers and regions, I hope you are able to turn off, slow down, enjoy the family, go for walks, have a few better conversations with friends, and, despite our different locations, feel the presence of our community. Please reach out to each other. Please pray for those in danger’s way. Fellowship takes many forms.
And Zoom in on Sunday night for Fellowship with Nathan, Lauren, Madeline, Kelsey, Mark, and everyone else. 5pm- Middle School. 7pm- High School. 8pm- College. It’ll be great to be, to talk, and to pray together.
We've added you to the email this week and set up a separate Zoom meeting for college students so we can keep in touch during these scattered days.
But we don't want to clutter your Inbox if you are already overwhelmed. To continue to receive the Upper Room emails, please join the "Nassau's Upper Room" email list. You are able to unsubscribe whenever you choose.
Are summer trips on? The short answer is, I don’t know. But we have some time to see what happens. Everything is really on hold both for us and for NorthBay, ASP, and Beyond. While it is OK to be hopeful, we’ve got time to wait and see realistically how things develop.
Our March 29th Forms Day is postponed for now. Payments, physicals, airline tickets, and alternate plans can all be resolved in May or June, if need be.
I am sitting outside to write this note, and I am enjoying the birds, the sun, the laughter of children and voices of neighbors eager to say hello as they pass by. My grape hyacinths and daffodils are blooming too. But I am missing you. I miss my Nassau community with whom I laugh, sing, pray and grow in God's love. Do you have any creative ways we might connect? AND make music?!
Here's a repeat idea, but I loved seeing you last week. Let's ZOOM again on Sunday. Shall we make it a "Show Us Your Pets!" zoom?
Two links for you: My video bloopers from this week, as well as the audio file for the anthem we hold close to heart. Sending love to you all. See you on Sunday evening.
