The past few weeks I have been closely monitoring news concerning COVID-19. At the recommendation of the North Georgia Conference and our resident bishop, and considering input from the CDC and WHO, Tucker First UMC is suspending worship services through the end of March.
The global impact of COVID-19 reminds us of the importance of being spiritually grounded. Communal worship has always played a vital role in spiritual well-being, especially in events of this magnitude. However, our spiritual well-being must also be balanced with physical well-being. During this season when we will not be able to worship together in one location, your church staff is planning resources which an individual or family can use for worship within their home. We will send out the first resource as soon as it is available.
For Sunday, March 15 we will also cancel all small group meetings. After we have had a chance to confer with our group leaders, especially those whose age puts them in a category of greater risk, we will send out a notice concerning any small groups which will continue meeting after March 15.
I am currently focusing on John 14:1,27. Jesus said, “Don’t be troubled. Trust in God. Trust also in me. Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I give to you not as the world gives. Don’t be troubled or afraid.” (CEB) As we trust in God, may our troubled hearts be redeemed and filled with peace. Be safe. Look for the new opportunities that God will provide for us to live out the covenant which unites us as sisters and brothers in Christ.
You are in my prayers.
