Some things to remember from Bishop Arends and Assistant to the Bishop Howe:
Since this is a first-time pandemic for all of us we are fumbling through it, making our way as we go, grace upon grace upon grace is for you and yours. Be gentle with yourselves and others. We will do our very best to keep you informed and connected to one another. Most importantly, you are not alone.
In Christian love,
Bishop Jim Arends and Pastor Libby Howe
- Our decisions are guided by our love for one another; we are more interested in caring for the neighbor and most vulnerable than we are in simply protecting ourselves.
- Every decision is made within and for a community and context. When our decisions differ, we will not disparage one another.
- Now is the time to get more comfortable (if you’re not already) praying on the phone with people; not just saying “I’ll keep you in my prayers,” but praying with them as they can hear you.
- Get off the computer, especially social media, for some time each day.
- When you are tired, rest. When you need a friend, reach out. It’s okay to need and ask for help.
Since this is a first-time pandemic for all of us we are fumbling through it, making our way as we go, grace upon grace upon grace is for you and yours. Be gentle with yourselves and others. We will do our very best to keep you informed and connected to one another. Most importantly, you are not alone.
In Christian love,
Bishop Jim Arends and Pastor Libby Howe
