Dear friends:
What a week! Thank you for your encouragement, patience, kindness, and support as we find new ways of being the church and serving our community. I’ve long believed that stress reveals character, and the character of the Covenant congregation is extraordinary. I’m more grateful than you know.
We will continue online worship through Easter and then re-evaluate. Please watch other emails and correspondence to learn of other ways you might cultivate growth and serve in this tenuous time. Also, I invite you to enjoy
this word from Grace Lindvall, part of our One Takes series which we’ll offer every weekday on social media, email and the website.
Last Sunday, nearly 500 folks joined us online for our live services. I hope over the coming weeks that number continues to increase as we each choose to fortify our spiritual life through prayer, scripture, and learning. It’s encouraging to engage with others online, and I encourage you to do so. You can prepare for worship by
reading Romans Chapter 8. It’s one of the most substantial chapters in the whole Bible.
And, just because sometimes it’s good to have fun when times are tough, I thought I’d share with you the below meditation shared with me by the coach of a local women’s rugby team. Anytime you get something from the coach of a rugby team, it’s worth pausing and paying attention. This is no exception.
I look forward to all the healing that will take place in the coming weeks.
Peace,
