First Pres Family,
During our
Livestream Bible Study
last night, we encountered this relevant biblical truth:
God meets you in your medium
. Your medium is your everyday life and experience. Just as the ancient Magi in Matthew chapter two were led to Christ by a star, the Lord will use what you know and what is around you to bring you closer to Jesus. How might God be using this extended time at home, supporting loved ones from a distance, and experiencing virtual community to bring you closer to the Savior?
Next week we will all have a chance to come closer to Christ during
Holy Week
. Our living rooms will become sanctuaries and our couches will become church pews. This may be the most memorable Holy Week we experience together! While Easter has a different feeling for each of us this year, we will allow Christ to be our consolation. The entire Holy Week schedule is below.
As I shared during worship, I resonate with the recent headline:
Only generosity will save us after the coronavirus crisis
. Generosity brings us closer to Christ. This week, our church deployed
$18,862
in mission funds for our community. These funds will support those facing housing needs, people dealing with homelessness, as well as local food pantries. Because of your generosity, we can be part of the solution for our community. To support these great efforts and the continuing ministries of our church, visit

I look forward to seeing you online this Sunday!
God bless you,
Pastor Kellen
