Psalm 121
I lift up my eyes to the hills
from where will my help come?
My help comes from God,
who made heaven and earth.
God will not let your foot be moved;
God who keeps you will not slumber.
God who keeps Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
God is your keeper;
God is your shade at your side.
The sun shall not strike you by day,
nor the moon by night.
God will keep you from all evil;
God will keep your life.
God will keep your going out
and your coming in
from this time on and forevermore.
We talked about the coronavirus and what it meant for each of us as individuals and as a worshiping community. We shared our worries and our fears and we shared what (sometimes) conflicting information we had.
At the end of it all we decided that, at this point at least, we will continue to meet together on Sunday morning. This doesn't mean that we discount the warnings but we feel that we are few enough and educated enough in care and prevention to continue to meet without being a threat to each other. This may change as the pandemic spreads, but right now, this is our choice.
We will continue to hold our community and each other in our prayers.
