Be generous and willing to share. 1 Timothy 6:18
Dear friend,
How did it go loving your neighbor this week? I had some good stuff and some tough stuff. Two friends lost people they love. I got to comfort and encourage them. A gift for a high school graduate. We're planning a farewell for someone who took a new job. I teased someone and got to apologize. Lots of opportunities to spend. Many chances to love, and love better.
I hope you see that a pandemic gives us more chances to love, even if it makes it harder to love.
Parents need help parenting
children need help learning
Workers need help staying employed or finding new jobs
communities need help maintaining public spaces
Isolated neighbors need connection
Please know that I’m working to plan our fall ministry - working with our teachers, elders, musicians, cleaners, and ushers. I can’t wait to gather around the gospel of Jesus with you. I hope it is a benefit for you and your friends in a safe and healthy environment.
This week God helps us sustain our friends no matter what physical need they have. He even sustains us. If you want to help others, come hear the Word!
