We are so glad you have joined us for our Mother's Day 2020!
Things are quite different this year than previous years as we now have become accustomed to terms such as “social distancing” and “flattening the curve” and even “lock-down.”
There are many more words that weren't part of our vocabulary last year at this time, but we continue to press on and believe God has the answer for what we are going through.
As we take the time once again to pause and appreciate Mothers, we cannot ignore the fact that this year is different than any other year we have done so.
As we continue to navigate through these difficult times in our Nation and world, we wanted to take a few moments to give a “shout-out” to all Mothers.
We often hear appreciation for those who are on the front lines making sure we have food in the stores, in addition to people responding to emergencies and other professions that are such a blessing to all of us.
We know that the church is so much more than the building we gather in to worship together! Though we as God's people may be a spread out today watching the service in our homes, we are still united together in spirit as we praise our risen Savior!
I want to challenge you today to shut down all the distractions that can take place during online meetings, and dedicate these next moments to remember how awesome God is!
We are so glad you have joined us on this Easter/Resurrection Sunday 2020 here in our church parking lot! Some of you may be joining us online as well. God is good no matter where we are!
Without a doubt, we will never forget the past few weeks, and most likely, the weeks that are still ahead of us as we come through this Coronavirus Global Pandemic.
It has been so sad to see the impact of this invisible enemy on humanity. At this point, over 180 countries of the world have experienced COVID-19 cases. Many of those countries were far more affected than others as the speed of infection has been swift.
While this is hardly our usual meeting format for Palm Sunday, isn't it wonderful to know that we are able to at least meet online?
(Or… Isn't it wonderful to know we are able to meet here at our Drive-In Church service?)
If we take a moment to think back to that first Palm Sunday, without question, it was a time of great hardship and trial for God's people. Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey as the people shouted Hosanna. A donkey was hardly the mode of transportation for a conquering King, yet the people were willing to overlook the situation because they believed their Messiah had finally arrived.
