Contribution…..$8,990.08 In some ways it feels like the proverbial script
for a classic Hollywood movie. You know the
type of movie. The good guy hero that you have
rooted for during the entire movie seems
defeated up to the very end but comes back in
a grand way to claim the victory. You and I can
make a long list of movies with that theme.
But the story of Jesus is more than a mere
Hollywood movie. This day almost 2,000 years ago would be
the defining moment in all of history. Jesus had come to
earth. He had lived a life that still is a perfect example to you
and me. He had been falsely accused. He was wrongly
convicted. He had died on the cross.
If that was the end of the story, it would be a good story but
that’s all it would be to you and me, just a good story.
But this Jesus claimed the victory by the power of God and
was victorious over death. The grave was empty on that
Resurrection Sunday and by that power you and I have the
hope of a home in heaven.
Today in our world the buildings that house our sister
congregations are mostly empty with only essential people
there to facilitate the recording of the worship service that is
aired to members. The building may be empty, but the church
is not empty. The church is full of the blessings of a risen
Savior. The church is full of the hope that is in Him. The
church is full today because the grave was empty that day
almost 2,000 years ago. Join with me in worshipping a
victorious risen Lord!

APRIL CONTACTS
COVID-19 and WORSHIP
We are living in very weird times. We are living in a time when a virus is
sweeping over the world in a pandemic format. For the church, this time of
quarantining our worship together looks very different from anything we have
ever seen. It is a period of isolation and healing of our nation and yet we still see
the Divine obligation to come together as a group of saints. All those things
being understood, we need to understand how we can make our worship at
home as profitable as possible.
We need to tune in. we cannot just skip or put off the worship of our Lord. As
you watch the service live streamed at the proper time, you are worshiping with
the saints, even when we are not in the same room. It is important to see each
other’s faces and see our brothers and sisters. This should be our source of
strength during this difficult time.
Wear your “Sunday Clothes”. When you get up from a restful night’s sleep, treat
these quarantined Sundays like every other Sunday. Eat your breakfast, shower
and shave. Be ready to go to gather with the church, even put on your normal
attire for church services. This will give these meetings a sense of normalcy.
Turn off the world. It is absolutely necessary to get rid of all the distractions from
this world during the time of Worship. Turn off the television and cell phone. Do
not open other tabs on the internet. Remember this is still worship unto our God
and He deserves our undivided attention. This will help us to keep the main
thing -the main thing!
It could also be helpful to sit at the kitchen table or desk to keep our attention
focused fully on God. If I sit on my couch, I know I get way too relaxed and my
mind will wander quickly. We need to try to remember that this is our worship
service and we want to show God a proper amount of respect.
Actually, God does not expect anything differently from us as worshippers during
this quarantine as any normal time in our lives. We need to make sure we are
actively participating in all five acts of worship. Most all actions of worship we
are able to follow along with the live stream, except our giving unto God. You
and I need to drop off our giving or mail it in. If I wait until I return, I know I would
use that money for other things. Sing loudly, pray fervently, study diligently,
partake the Lord’s Supper worthily, and give godly. Keep your hands clean, help
your family and friends, and keep God in proper perspective.
I love you and I cannot wait till we can be together quickly.
