Good morning church family. Like everyone else I am wondering how long this shut down will continue. I am very eager to worship together again. In the meantime, keep the faith. The verse Marie sent out today (James 1:2) is very appropriate for our current situation. God does allow trials to test our faith. Will we trust Him in the trials, or will we only trust Him when things are going well?

Our Church board will be meeting Tuesday to discuss future plans for our church. What changes will we need to make in view of the present circumstances?

Marie and I will be serving the Lord’s Supper again this Sunday from 9 to 11. Those who feel comfortable to venture out are welcome to join us for a 3-minute
individual communion service.

I think we can thank God for the low incidence of the virus in Benton County (3 cases, all recovered). Let us continue to pray that His hand of protection will continue to watch over us.
Pastor Bowman
