The COVID-19 pandemic is yet with us. It has brought many changes to our lives and we are still adjusting to the restrictions that it has put on us. Our ancestors survived many such plagues – weather, starvation, disease, war, and many other disasters. How did they survive? The strength that they had is in our genes and so we too will survive. Our ancestors learned how to use the tools that they had available to them by hunting, preserving and most of all caring for each other. They also had faith that the Creator would take care of them and so we too have that faith. They planned for and had hope for a better future.

Despite our worries during this time we can see the results of our covid confinement – bountiful gardens, zucchini cookies, beautiful yards, zucchini bread, flowers, stuffed zucchini, etc. Good things can come out of adverse situations. Sports (some of them) are back on TV, schools will be reopening (maybe), the weather has been great, we have been able to see friends and family and we will be ready to face the future.

Everyone is invited to join us at Four Corners on Sunday mornings at 9 a.m. for our worship service. The service is filled with music and word that will bring joy to your life. Feel free to contact Pastor Rood by phone or e-mail if you have any questions about the church or if you need spiritual guidance. Here’s a verse to help you through the days to come – “Cast all your anxiety on [God] because he cares for you. – 1 Peter 5:7 (NIV)”.

Peace be with you.
