Rhythm of Life

It has been a very unusual week and for many of us it is stressful, experiencing an isolation from each other, family members and also our community of friends. As we watch our Prime Minister speaking to our country each morning, we also are feeling the sense that this current environment that we live in may exist for a while. Therefore I want to send a prayer for each of you that a hedge of protection be around our homes, to keep us all safe during this season known as Covid19.  It is hard to imagine that we cannot come together to be in fellowship and worship tomorrow, especially in a time when togetherness and being in presence with God as a family has been a great encouragement and strength in times of difficulty. In that thought we are still encouraged, that as we hunker down at home our God is still with us and Jeremiah 29:11-12 comes to mind. "11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you." This passage gives us the hope that we are not alone and that even as we walk through this valley physically on our own, he is with us to guide us safely through. I am feeling stressed myself that I am not able to be present for you and pray that my presence is not needed at this time, but also wish to assure you that in my heart I am with each of you and praying for you.  Pastor George
