COVID-19, March 30, 2020


Dear Church Family,
That’s three now.  Three Sundays where we worshiped on line instead of in our church building.  It’s not ideal, but it’s wonderful to have a this option.  The thing I miss the most, when I deliver these messages, is that you are not there.  It is far too quiet in church. Oh to have some whispering kids, or a crying baby, or that surprisingly ill-timed cough!

Our oldest grandson is in grade 6.  Last week they resumed their school work via Google Classroom.  Nolan’s mom made the comment that the teachers are rather enjoying the option to “mute” a student who might be talking too much.  I get that!  Haven’t we all wanted to “mute” someone now and then.

Please pray for our teachers this week as many of them will be getting back to their classes remotely.  Some parents want their children in class all day, others want the teachers to ease them in slowly.  Parents – please be gracious and patient; we don’t want the teachers pushing your “mute” button.
The preacher, in Ecclesiastes 3:7 says that there’s “a time to be silent and a time to speak.”  May God help students, teachers, parents, newscasters, politicians, pastors, yes, all of us, to be able to discern those times, to know when to speak and when to listen. 

Ça va bien aller.
Pastor Rita
