TUESDAY UPDATE from MHC

We continue to follow the recommendations of the State to limit gatherings to no more than 10 people. Until that restriction is lifted, ONLINE WORSHIP will be our primary connection except for essential staff & pastors leading that worship.

Beloved Bride, We are taking this serious situation very seriously but I want you to know that there is a significant part of me that feels absent without all of us together on Sunday Mornings! I truly miss the face to face connection with you, but I have heard from more that one of you that God has been doing some amazing things during this time— families have time to talk, laugh, reconnect, pray and worship together as we all take inventory of what is REALLY important. There is great grace for us in this and I'm thankful for a church family who have eyes to see that! Our Elders, Deacons and Staff want to make certain you are cared for. Do you need groceries? Do you need Technical Support to help you get on a Zoom call? How can we love you right now? Please send an email to: care@madisonheightschurch.com and let us know any way that we can serve you. Many in our church need your prayers and many have family who are COVID-19 affected so please look up to Our Father and around at His Children who need you right now! Here are 10 things I'd like you CELEBRATE with me: Men's Bible Study resumed today and will meet on Tuesday mornings via ZOOM! Ladies Tuesday Night study resumed tonight and will keep meeting on ZOOM! Ladies Wednesday Bible Study will reconvene on Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. via ZOOM! We are asking everyone to continue to PARTICIPATE ELECTRONICALLY in worship! We will send out a pre-worship email with Kid's sermon info. so you can connect with Wally! There is an electronic bulletin sent out each week by email on Friday! Our student ministry staff are doing Instagram LIVE events on Sunday Evenings! Bible studies continue for Middle & High School Students via ZOOM on Wednesdays! Recorded copies of all Bible Studies will be available on our Website! Many Community Groups are having virtual gatherings and we can help you set those up!

P.S. On a personal note, seeing Seth's heart and hearing his words in the video above make me incredibly thankful for his service here and hopeful for Grace Presbyterian in Starkville. I can't imagine a better man at this hour for that church! Soli Deo Gloria!

Sidewalk evangelism in Madison Children's ministry is doing SIDEWALK EVANGELISM! We're not kidding. Families are taking a few moments on sunny days to take to the streets and chalk up some encouragement to their neighbors. This is a great way for us to get some R&R— REMEMBER and REMIND your children, neighbors, delivery drivers and the world around us that "It is Well..." in the midst of chaos!

It is "well" with our souls every week during the COVID-19 crisis... The words of the telegram are simple yet startling: “Saved alone. What shall I do..." These were the words that Horatio Spafford received when he lost his children in a tragic shipwreck as his family was sailing for Europe on vacation. He later penned the hymn, "It is WELL with my SOUL.." This week we determined that this great hymn would be our closing hymn for every worship service until this crisis has been mitigated. Our MHC stone of remembrance is down!
