While our in-person visiting has been lessened, our communication with others doesn't have to, thanks to technology. This is the perfect time to share more uplifting messages online: if you have any social media accounts, follow and share post, messages, and comments with and from our church accounts on Facebook, Instagram, our youth Instagram, our local conference page. There are many people online who may not come to church, but may see a message that will encourage them to seek Christ.
As we look at the issues in our society, notice that the importance of and our efforts to carefully follow the laws of health will not diminish.

5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
Philippians 2
This passage will be the subject of discussion in our Prayer Meeting on Wednesday, 7:00 p.m., on Zoom
