November 22, 2020
It is difficult to call this an intersection of daily life and faith, but it is where we are. Today was the last Sunday for the year of in-person worship. The number of cases of COVID keep rising in our community, and nearly everyone knows someone who is (or has been personally) affected by this disease. In a difficult decision to make, the leadership of the congregation agreed to suspend in-house worship after today through the end of the year. Today, therefore, was a sad day.
There is nothing more difficult than to suspend gathering for worship at a time when the world desperately needs the strength of community. However, I cling to the promise that the community is still together. Through Christ, we are bound by the thread of faith and trust. And that promise lasts forever.
We WILL be together again. We ARE together now through Christ. Thanks be to God!
Blessings. And prayers.
