Note From the Board

Dear Church,

We are all now experiencing many changes in our daily routines and have made many adjustments in how we do things each day. The recent and continuing changes have created feelings of uncertainty, worry, and fear. When change happens we struggle to feel a sense of control and want to understand how the change will affect us.  As we try to find the answers to understand what is happening and gain control, worry follows.

What can we do when we can't find the answers, or when uncertainty seems to surround us? Well, we can turn to what we know is unchanging, constant, everlasting, and omnipotent. We know that God is all of these and more. In Isaiah 26:3-4 we read, "You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock." How amazing that we have an everlasting rock that can be our strength when we are weak! Furthermore, we can also remember that the changes in our world do not change the qualities of God. That means that no matter what happens around us or to us, God continues to be our all-powerful, all-loving, all-knowing God. 

"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." (Hebrews 13:8)

May our meditation on the Word of God be our anchor in the midst of the continual waves of change.

"Where will I find help? It will come from the Lord, who created the heavens and the earth."
(Psalm 121:1-2)
