Dear Friends,
We all wish that we could know a little more of the future, don’t we? As some of you know, I love singing and especially on Sundays as our wonderful choir leads us. Recently I found solace in singing one of my favorite hymns. May these words and prayer minister to you as they have done for me.
He leadeth me, O blessed thought! O words with heavenly comfort fraught!
Whate’er I do, wherever I be Still ’tis God’s hand that leadeth me.
He leadeth me, He leadeth me, By His own hand He leadeth me;
His faithful follower I would be, For by His hand He leadeth me.
Sometimes ’mid scenes of deepest gloom, Sometimes where Eden’s bowers bloom,
By waters still, o’er troubled sea, Still ’tis His hand that leadeth me.
Lord, I would place my hand in Thine, nor ever murmur nor repine;
Content, whatever lot I see, Since ’tis my God that leadeth me.
And when my task on earth is done, When by Thy grace the victory’s won,
Even death’s cold wave I will not flee, Since God through Jordan leadeth me.
On Wednesdays and Fridays, we will be offering evening prayer through conference call format at 7:30pm. Dial In: (425) 436-6377: Access code: 236046. We will be sending reminders often.
On Sundays, a link will be emailed out through our church email for you to watch a recording of Sunday Morning prayer and a sermon and maybe a surprise or 2.
We are committed to staying in touch with you, and have a team of people making phone calls and doing check-ins. If you are homebound and need supplies, please let us know. We have a team of people that have volunteered to do grocery/medicine runs and deliver them to your door.
This is a scary time for many of us as we don’t know how we will make ends meet or if we will have a job when this is all over. We will find a way to help you, but you must let us know if you need help. If you have any questions or need anything, please email me at kirabisam@gmail.com or call me on my cell at (302)-252-8152.
For those of you that are okay financially, please remember to send in your pledge or tithe. We still have our staff here (and they have been working so hard during this) and utilities to be paid. If possible, please send a little extra so that we have available funds to help those that may need it.
Through these uncertain days we continue to pray for the hope and healing that comes through God’s love and grace present with us in this world, to calm our fears, and give us the hope for God’s future.
Father Sam
