Services and church activities are postponed indefinitely.
Message from Rev. Cathy from April 17
Dear Friends,
I miss seeing you and look forward to the time when we will be able to gather again as one church family. In the meantime we carry on, keeping in touch with each other through digital, and telephone lines. There is another way that we keep in touch and that is through prayer. We can always pray for one another, it doesn't cost anything, the lines never go down and there’s no bill coming in at the end of the month. That is how I am keeping you present every day. Sometimes we all need a little boost, a little inspiration, maybe just a few words to pick us up from a difficult day, to remind us we are not alone, or maybe to break through boredom and dullness.
Over the years I have collected a few short sayings that I turn to, to give me a lift, and I thought I would share some of them with you. I hope that at least one of these might speak to you.
- From Psalm 46:10 - “Be still and know that I am God”
- From a little book titled 100 Ways to Keep Your Soul Alive -
Live in this Moment
I was regretting the past and fearing the future.
Suddenly God was speaking. “My name is ‘I Am.”’
I waited. God continued.
“When you live in the past with its regrets and mistakes, it is hard.
I am not there. My name is not “I was”.
When you live in the future with its problems and fears, it is hard.
I am not there. My name is not ‘I will be’.
When you live in this moment, it is not hard.
I am here. My name is ‘I Am’”
Author Unknown - “Live by what you know, not by what you fear.”
- Author Unknown – “Sorrow looks back, worry looks around and faith looks up”
It’s an unprecedented time in our history. No one really knows what is coming next, not the health authorities, the government officials or any of us. All we can do is live each day, giving thanks to God, and trusting the next day to God.
I hope that you might find something in these sayings helpful. Keep well my friends, and keep being and living the church of Jesus Christ. For He is alive and with us.
Blessings to you all,
Cathy
