Dear Friends in Christ –
By this time we would have gathered to sing, pray, and worship in thanksgiving for all we’ve been given, for each other, and for the hope we have in our Christ. But, as I preface far too many things, “in this time of COVID,” we keep our distance, wear our masks, wash our hands and pray that the rancor, the vilification, the blaming and the impasse stop.
Know that we here at the Second Church mourn the loss of the lives lost due to the scourge, the loss of a rhythm to life that we had come to accept as normal, and the peace we knew to face the challenges before us. But we, my friends, and the people we serve, are a resilient lot.
It is my prayer that we pray for and with each other. That we support each other in these exciting and tumultuous times and that we position ourselves for grace, with our gaze fixed on Jesus.
Happy Thanksgiving –
