Sunday, November 15 - Online Only
11:00am livestreamed service
Dear Central Family,
We have a little saying around here: "One step at a time". Sometimes that feels freeing. Sometimes it feels frustrating. Some of us are really good at this pace. Some of us would prefer to jump, run, and plan far ahead. Today, I'm choosing to open my hands, trust God's good ways, and simply take the next step.
I've been watching the Covid numbers this week in our county. The percent positive tests numbers have been rising almost 1% every day. At the end of the day Thursday they were at 8.9%. When we get to 10%, we are at a more dangerous risk level. As we are on pace to get to 10% on Sunday, we felt it best to go back to online services only. We will update you weekly to let you know about upcoming Sundays.
Last Sunday, we encouraged you all to throw grace around liberally. Here is a really specific way to do this. We are all missing gathering and missing one another a lot. Would you take time to think through a few people that you don't usually connect with and give them a call or write them a card this week? If you need any names, numbers or addresses, let me know.
We are all doing the best we can with the information we have and within our unique contexts. We never have known what tomorrow holds. We do know that we are part of a greater story...one of hopeful expectation that the end is good. All the parts in the middle are messy. But if we listen for and to the voice of Jesus...we will still stand.
Grace and peace overflowing to you,
Pastor Joanna
