During this challenging time, there are many sources for uplifting music to listen to such as local FM channel 101.3 KLove or at Klove.com.
During this time of “Social Distancing For The Greater Good” , we are looking at ways of staying connected and caring for and helping each other. Please reach out if you have need.
We also encourage you to support our local businesses- especially restaurants where drive up and take out meals are still available. Many of us are choosing to intentionally increase our patronage of these businesses for take out meals as we are able as they will be hard hit financially.
We encourage you to continue pay close attention to your local, state, and provincial authorities, as unique protocols may be in play close to the ground where you live and serve. As the Church of God Movement, we want to always be seen as the champions of public health and the common good. Our witness depends upon it; our love requires it.
Our prayers go out to all people either affected by the virus or by the community response to the crisis. This reminder is from Park Place Church of God: “As we face these challenging days remember that we have a firm foundation. Our faith is in God and God’s provision. We are not to live in fear but through prayer we can find God’s peace.”
