Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
The past few days have certainly been challenging for all of us. Who would have thought that we would be practicing social distancing, watching the stock market go on wild daily swings, finding empty shelves at the grocery store, and experiencing fear over an unseen contagion? As Christians, let us use this time of uncertainty to unite us as one body who glorifies God through our words and actions. Let us see this as a time for faith not fear, for giving not receiving, and for caring not crisis.
Philippians 4:6-7 states “…do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
As you know, our building was closed Sunday and will be closed for at least the next few weeks – but as children of God – our worship is active wherever we are! Our faithful staff is leading us via Facebook and over the weekly stream on the website: https://collegepark.ws. Even though our building is closed, we are still faced with ongoing expenses and your offerings are essential to keep our ministry healthy. If you are looking for ways to give other than through the Sunday offering plate or giving kiosk, please see the information below.
