For such a time as this, let's be the Church, C3!

As I recently promised, I am going to get back to blogging far more regularly. I will start with some encouragement for this time as we may be physically isolated but need to remain or even step up our efforts to remain in relationship and community.

You know that one of my favorite verses is Acts 2:42 - They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching, to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to the prayers.

Prior to recent events, I would have said busyness was one of our biggest challenges. For many of us now, that is not a problem. So, what can we do? How can we use this time to get back to the basics of life and love? The greatest commandments are to love God and love others. Maybe this time gives us the chance to truly lean into our purpose, and to live a life that is worthy of our calling to give glory to God through the church.

Below is a simple outline I have prepared to help us reconnect with God and stay connected with each other. You may have other ideas, and I would love to hear them. However, let us not succumb to fear or loneliness, but all the more, encourage one another and reach out in love. Our church is first and foremost a family, not a place nor an event. Let us be your family in this time and may God bless, keep and protect you!
