BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE FAMILY LIFE COMMITTEE
"A Kid's Perspective on 2020"
What did you think when you first heard about the coronavirus?
When I first heard about it, I thought that we would be going back to school after a few weeks. But it kept getting worse and worse, so we couldn’t go back.
How did it make you feel?
It made me feel sad that I couldn’t see my friends or anyone I know. I basically couldn’t do anything, which made me sad and disappointed and confused.
Pandemic Celebration of the Cross October 3
Please mark Sabbath, October 3 (9:00/11:45 AM), for a joyful celebration of the Lord's Supper as a worshiping community. While we will participate with actual emblems of bread and wine, because of the pandemic the elements will be prepackaged for your safety. These packaged elements will be available for your pickup at the church office the week before (Monday, September 28 through Sabbath, October 3). On-site worshipers will receive the packaged communion elements upon arriving for worship Sabbath morning.
But how will we celebrate foot washing? We're inviting every worshiper and family to experience Jesus' example in John 13 by washing each other's feet that Friday evening where you live. If you would like someone with whom to share this foot washing, you may either invite a friend to join you or please call Claudia Sowler (269-471-3134) for arrangements. Why not make this foot washing a part of your Friday evening worship as we gather across this community to welcome the Lord of the Sabbath into our homes at sundown?
Then Sabbath morning through music, prayer, the reading, and preaching of the Word ("American Apocalypse: How to Train Your Dragon—By the Blood of the Lamb") let's throw wide our hearts to the Christ we love to worship. "Do this in remembrance of Me" (Luke 22:19).
