COVID-19, Saturday, April 25


Dear Church Family,

Good news out of New Brunswick.  Effective immediately, outdoor spaces, such as parks, beaches and golf courses are reopening. And people can choose one other household to partner with to form a "two-family bubble."  A plan to reopen Ontario will be released next week.  I think our political leaders might be familiar with Proverbs 13:12:  “Hope deferred makes the heart sick,” because  those items are instilling in us a glimmer of hope.

Hope is such a precious thing, and no one knows that better than us Christians.  Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength (Isaiah 40:31); we can put our hope in God’s unfailing love (Psalm 147:11).  And my favourite verse: “and hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us” (Romans 5:5).

We don’t know what the plan for Ontario looks like, and we don’t know the time frame.  But we can be hopeful that God will see us through this.
Pastor Rita
