At The Corner Of Fourth And Walnut - Everything You Need For This Sunday
Dear Church,
First a note for you: there have been a lot of things this week to pray for. There are members of Canyon Creek dealing with illnesses, we're still feeling the loss of Jan, we are mourning the loss of a Calgary Police officer, we had the news of our politicians not holding themselves to the same standards they ask us to hold, we're witnessing huge political unrest in the states with a siege on the capital building, and we continue to live through a pandemic.
My dear church, this is a lot. We're going through a lot.
Let's take a moment together to pause, wherever you are, and breathe. Take a moment to find a solid centre in Christ. He is here. He is working in the midst. Where do you see Christ at work in your life right now? Where is His voice calling us to focus on? How can we be sowers of peace, grace and love right now?
It's ok to take a step back right now if you need to. To turn off the news, to log out of Facebook... to go for a walk, or find a quiet corner and pray or read the Bible or simply just to breathe for a moment. These are times we need to be adamant in finding the beauty around us. To be committed to the good in the world, and remind ourselves that there's goodness here, even now.
I also want to remind you that you're not alone, that we are going through this together. Feel free to call or text someone if you think they need it, or if you think you need it.
Gathering to worship on Sunday is also something we can do to get through this together. Worship is such an incredible act of resistance right now. And I can't wait to sing, pray, share, and look to Jesus on Sunday.
