A recent Census Bureau survey found that 1 in 3 Americans are now reporting symptoms of depression or anxiety — more than three times the rate from a similar survey conducted in the first half of 2019. Millions of people now work from home (although many do not have that luxury) and families, friends, church communities, and other groups have not been able to meet together for many months.
God made us for relationship, so this time of forced isolation is difficult. I encourage you, if you are not already doing so, to be part of one of our
Adult Life Groups or
Bible studies. I realize nothing can replace face to face interaction, but Zoom meetings enable us to encourage, pray for, and equip one another. What a joy it was last Sunday to meet for corporate worship! Many of you chose to stay at home for various reasons, but those of us who were present rejoiced at being able with “one voice” to glorify our God and Father.
If you are finding yourself anxious or depressed, contact one of our pastors, elders, deacons, or Life Group leaders. All of us stand ready to help in any way we can. Our enemy loves to isolate us, but even during COVID–19 we are eagerly maintaining “the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” (Ephesians 4:3).
