Hello GBC Family,
If you read the previous blog post, I mentioned that I would continue that devotional on Jesus calming the storm in the next post. I got so “into it” that I decided to preach that devotional for the Sunday Worship Service on 3/29. So look for an expanded and more complete exposition of that passage this coming Sunday on our YouTube Channel.
You may have noticed that I changed the name of this blog from “Pastor’s Daily Blog” to “Pastors Somewhat Daily Blog.” You can guess why! ;-)
This post will be a little rambling, addressing a few topics, bear with me…
Today I’d like to say some “Thank Yous” related to our current series of Worship Webcasts in lieu of our regular worship services on Sundays and Thursdays since we cannot meet due to the corona virus.
+First to Russ for leading the webcast production team. Great Job, Russ. +Next, to the others who have been instrumental in making the webcast happen: Darwin, Jim, Joe, and Frances (last names omitted since this post is public.) +Thanks as well to others in the music ministry who are playing and singing. +And to all of you who have participated in the worship webcasts and who have replied with words of encouragement and ideas on how to make this effort even more helpful.
Speaking of the corona virus, five prayer requests: Do you remember the last time we had a worship service at the church? I mentioned numerous times “we don’t know” the details of this virus and of the repercussions caused by this problem. We still don’t! So in the midst of not knowing, let us pray that: (1) More will be learned, soon. (2) Misinformation and speculations will be replaced by facts, and that armed with facts we can make whatever adjustments are necessary. (3) Those who govern who are skewing the facts for political purposes will stop! (4) As long as “social distancing” seems to be the best (only?) thing that we can do, that we the people will cooperate patiently and more fully. (5) For those most adversely affected, both physically and economically.
A closing action item: Please check in on one another—especially those who may be in need due to age, health, or because of being out of work.
Stay Well. Stay Connected. And Stay tuned for more,
Errol
