September 8, 2021

Dear Members, Visitors, and Friends of the Congregation,

          I can’t believe it’s already September! I also find it hard to believe that we will soon be entering a second year of dealing with the coronavirus. We continue to evaluate the situation and what it might mean for the congregation. At present, we continue with in-person worship, Adult Sunday School, and Wednesday Bible Study.

          The attached prayer, which I will pray during our ZOOM worship time tonight, September 8, at 7:00 PM, tries to speak to what’s been going on in our culture for a good while now. As usual, it’s not really a traditional prayer, more of one of my “talking prayers”, ending up as, more than anything, a plea for help. Perhaps it is your plea as well.

          May God continue to break through with hope and even joy where hope and joy are most needed today,

Pastor Halenza
