It is an understatement to say that the Covid-19 virus has upended everything: children are home
\nfrom school, most people are working from home, errands are for essential purposes only,
\nfinancial security is in question.<\/p>\n
It is in times such as this that we are reminded the Church exists in community. We are called to
\nencourage and support one another in meaningful and practical ways.<\/p>\n
Therefore, someone you know may be experiencing difficulty because of the shelter-in-place
\norder; someone who is elderly, physically less mobile, or without easy transportation. Please
\nreach out to them to determine if you can help. For example, shopping for groceries,
\nappointments to the doctor, running an errand, minor home repair, etc.<\/p>\n
You might, however, feel more help is required. The responsibility of the Deacons is to serve the
\nchurch in practical ways, particularly during this time. They are able to organize efforts and
\nresources to help in these situations.<\/p>\n
Or you, yourself, might be in need. If you require some assistance, then ask for help. There is
\nabsolutely no shame in asking for help.<\/p>\n
Please reach out to the Deacons and leaders so they can determine the best way to help you or
\nanother person. This is what the church does for one another.<\/p>\n
Any information they receive will be kept in strict confidence.<\/p>\n
