Dear Heritage Family,
I pray that each of you are doing well as we continue to weather through this unprecedented time in the history of our world. The Sullivan Five are doing well, as each day we look for new ways to be grateful for the many blessings we had no idea we took for granted. We pray the peace of God is present in your homes and time spent together is drawing each person closer. It’s in that spirit that I write to you this evening, that you would
continue
to stay close to one another through prayer, FaceTime, and joining with us throughout the week via Zoom and YouTube.
This upcoming weekend is very special in the life of the Church as we prepare to celebrate Palm Sunday. In your devotional time this week, I encourage you to read Matthew 21 in preparation for the sermon entitled,
“The King is Here!” Even now, prepare your hearts to be blessed by worship as we not only celebrate Palm Sunday, but also one of the two ordinances of our faith - The Lord’s Supper or Communion.
Given our governmental restrictions, we want to continue to be great citizens by observing the request of our Governor to “Stay Home.” As such, as you frequent the supermarket this week, please take the time to pick up some juice and perhaps bread as we will host a virtual communion celebration. Remember the meal that Jesus shared with His disciples wasn’t in a church, it was in a home
—
a large upper room furnished. There was neither blood nor broken body, but symbols representing what these elements soon would represent. I pray that as you prepare to celebrate communion in the intimacy of your home, you will reflect on the intentional sacrifice Jesus gave for you and me.
Heritage, let’s stay connected in our faith, our love, and our commitment to draw closer to Christ.
Love Lifts!
Pastor Sullivan
