Sisters and brothers in Christ,
As I write those words I am reminded again (as we will talk about today) of the joy of being in community with you all. This season of our life together has reminded me just how important the community of faith is as we pursue the mission of God together. For one, I (and hopefully all of us) have palpably felt the loss of our at least weekly interactions and so it has served as a testimony to the importance of our meeting together. Secondly, even in this absence I have seen (virtually and otherwise!) God work through you all through your encouragement, your generosity, your care for one another, and your creativity in making sure that the fellowship of the saints continues in one way or another. It has been a true blessing to watch you all work towards God’s mission. It serves as a great testimony to the fact that the church truly is not closed! I pray this service will encourage you as we get to see and hear from several ZPCers as they demonstrate the work of God in their everyday lives.
Let us worship God!
Jerry
