"Disciples making Disciples who make Disciples"
Update on CoronaVirus & FCC
3/31/20 - FCC Update
Hey there!
Whom do you trust? Old Jeremiah exhorted God’s people who were facing the utter destruction of everything they held dear -- their homes, their wealth, their families, their culture, their cities & their very lives -- because they had put their faith in people, their economic systems, and the conflicting promises of human leaders rather than leaning into Father. His words ring true as we navigate some very confusing days, too.
Jeremiah 17:5-8 5 Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the Lord. 6 He is like a shrub in the
desert, and shall not see any good come. He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness, in an uninhabited salt land.
7 “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. 8 He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat
comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.”
Even as we’re linked together as a church and as a community, the wise eyes and ears are fixed on Father.
What’s happening around the FCC building?
• We had the staff in for at least part of the day today. Tammy working on Palm Sunday stuff, me working on the usual miscellaneous, and all of us working poor Mary Ann extra hard! Yes, we kept our distance, but it was kind of nice to enjoy the usual banter and beehive of activity more like the Old Days. As Mary Ann commented, it’s only been a few weeks, but those days seems like a long time ago!
• Doug has been using the break in foot traffic to get some painting and other upgrades done around the building. One of the most telling changes is the returning of the hallway doors to the classic colors using a beautiful glossy dark brown that matches the woodwork in the original building. Take a look at the photo!
• The Early Morning Prayer Team is still praying diligently and daily... together, but at home! You are all on our list... so know you’re being remembered!
• The Dining Room crew (no more than 8 at any one time) is hard at work down in the kitchen, prepping take out meals for 75 or more people today! Pray for our resources as at least one of the Dining Room’s long-time supporters is unable to donate during the crisis; this while the needs for food and love are growing!
Blessings again!
