Please know we are praying for our community and we pray for everyone to stay safe and well.

Saturday 6:00am

This week I encourage all, except those directly involved in direct participation in our worship service to take advantage of the on line opportunity to view service. This is to protect those who are vulnerable, and those who would come out of a sense of responsibility who should remain home. We will continue to keep informed as time goes on, but for this week all public worship and programs in the church will be suspended this week. You may send in your weekly gifts through our church app, or simply main in your offering if you so desire. Again, these are not normal times and we will continue to monitor and make changes as appropriate. Please be in prayer, and let the office know of those who may be in need, and offer what assistance you can personally, and do so safely. Thanks for everyone’s support during these days

HANNFORD PICKUP ON SATURDAY’S:  If anyone is in need (Church and Community) of the Hannaford Produce, Bread pickup from Saturday please contact Sandy Unger. 

Let the neighbors know that God is on His throne. This way we can all pray together (at the same time) without being together. Jesus said that “Where two or three are gathered there I am in the midst of them.” We are gathering, just not in the same place. “If My people pray” read 1Chronicles 7:14 But along with this we will start praying as a group at 12noon if ALL believers would in your home, in any capacity they are able, and begin to pray we can show the world that God is on HIS Throne and in full control of this entire situation. Do this for 7 days (as Joshua marched around the wall). This is simple and All ages can participate.

As everyone is aware we are in a difficult and trying time right now.  While still remaining safe and well, If there is anyone who would like and can offer help to others, such as checking on people, shopping for someone, preparing a meal, etc. please let me know as I am making a list of people who would like to help in a safe way to others within our Church, families and community. This list will be kept confidential and all efforts would be coordinated through the office.  Please let me know how and if you would like to help in some way.

YOUTH GROUP: Youth Group has been cancelled till further notice.

In this time I would like to take the opportunity to share thoughts and teaching in a different format. I have posted a video to YouTube which is attached below.  Your students can watch it at their leisure. Also Sunday we will have material on the church website.  This material will be a lesson/quiet time for them to use weekly in their personal walk with God.

MISCELLANEOUS

COVID-19 INFORMATION: Recipe for Hand Sanitizer from Beth Reed-Domingo:

The recipe for hand sanitizer is ~ mix 1 part-Aloe Vera Gel to 2 parts-91% isopropyl rubbing alcohol or 190 proof grain alcohol, which is 95% alcohol.  Grain alcohol 190 proof is available in Delaware.  We did 1/2 cup gel to 1 cup alcohol and it worked well.  The gel simply keeps your hands from drying out. I emptied a liquid soap pump and mixed it in there. 

To Our Raymond and Surrounding Communities: As members of our local clergy group we recognize the concerns that many have during these days of uncertainty with the spread of COVID-19. In situations like these, it is the most vulnerable in our midst that will suffer the most. As pastors of local churches, we want our communities to know that as followers and servants of Jesus Christ we are here to offer whatever care and support that we and our ministries are able. We first encourage community members to be on alert and care for those who are vulnerable around you. Jesus said, “Love your neighbor as yourself” that means avoid situations where you if sick could pass along your illness to others and provide help and assistance to those who may need it. If you or someone you know needs some extra care that you or others could not provide, please let us know and we will try to assist in obtaining the spiritual or physical care that may be needed. In the early church’s history, when disease would spread throughout the cities, and others would flee, it was Jesus’ church that stayed and helped those in need. We may not be able to address all needs, but we are willing to provide the counsel and help that we can in Christ’s name. Also, if you would like to attend a church service, and are unable you are welcome to watch any of our services on-line until this has passed.
