Dear FPC family of faith,

 

We’ve contacted and heard from many of you, and we thank God you’re doing well.  Every day, however, more of us learn of people we know affected by this pandemic, and we also know its economic effects have impacted some of you as well as your family and friends.  So, again, let’s be on knees in prayer.  Today, I’m providing a prayer (in italics below) offered recently by N.T. Wright, an Anglican priest, prolific New Testament scholar, and “one of the most important apologists for the Christian faith since C.S. Lewis.”  In addition to Wright’s prayer, I’ve also prepared a video devotional, which you can access by clicking here.

 

Finally, in light of the governor’s order on Tuesday, the virus’s rapid advance and the increasing risk of infection/transmission, our worship this Sunday won’t be pre-recorded in the sanctuary as it’s been the past two Sundays.  Instead, it’ll be a pre-recorded worship service with its parts led from our respective homes.  As a worship team and staff, we believe this is not only prudent but also sets the right example of how best to “flatten the curve.”  Other churches are providing high-quality services like this, and we will, too.  Please pray for us as we prepare it and then join us on Sunday in wholehearted worship.

 

God is with us,

 

Will
