Be sure to stay connected with each other throughout the week. Make phone calls. Text. Video chat. If health and state guidelines allow, visit and share a meal. Just because we are limited in our normal gatherings does not mean we are limited in our loving.

STAY: Stay connected. Stay busy at what God has asked you to be doing. And then just the runbber-meets-the-road part: if you or anyone in your family is experiencing flu-like symptoms, stay home from any small group gatherings and stay connected through technology until you are well. PRAY: Pray for our community and our church family. Pray for peace and wisdom and health. Pray that God will be glorified through the lives and hearts of His children as we do our best to love. We’d also love to pray for you. Submit a prayer request,(javascript:void(0)) and we will pray with you!
