    "God Isn't Far Away from Any of Us"

    "What ultimately draws you and me to God is divine love and the conviction that God cares about human beings. Without God’s grace, as shown to us in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we are nothing. God approaches us before we even know it and loves us into faith."

    Our Complete Trust in God

    Bishop Laurie Haller writes, “As you and I continue to live a quarantined life in order to contain the spread of COVID-19, we place our complete trust in the God who made you and me as unique one-of-a-kind individuals, created for good works. The best “work” we can do now is to continue to practice social distancing; to continue to stay connected with one another, especially those who are living alone, or are isolated; to continue to tend to our own spiritual life; and to continue to offer our resources through prayer, financial giving, and offering our time, to help those who are unemployed, those who are sick, and those who are feeling hopeless.”

    Keep on Caring

    I encourage you to continue loving your neighbor, checking up on family, friends, neighbors, and church members, and participating in online worship. There are also ample opportunities to reach out to those who have lost their jobs or are suffering economically.
