Good morning everyone! I hope your day is off to a good start. I'm glad to see the snow gone and the sun back shining. I've been mediating lately on Proverbs 3:5-6. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him and he will make your paths straight." I'm not certain I truly realized how important this piece of wisdom was until dealing with this situation. Let's trust in God and allow him to straighten our path.

Open Altar on Sunday
As you know, the last Sunday of the month is open altar prayer time where you have the opportunity to pray with me after the service. Well that'll continue this Sunday with Virtual Open Altar.
After the service I'll have a time of prayer for those who want to stick around and will take your prayer requests over the 'comment' option. If you're not comfortable with that you can send me your prayer requests and I will pray for you during this time. Just because the medium has changed doesn't mean the message does- prayer is powerful!

Closing Thoughts
Not knowing when this will end is probably the hardest part of this right now. Thankfully God knows and is working. So let's trust him, take it one day at a time and follow his path. If you're having troubles with this, find yourself struggling, or feel alone, reach out to me and lets talk. Don't go through this alone.
I'm praying for you all!
In His grip,
Pastor Chris
