Friday’s  MEETING IS CANCELED

Hello,<<First Name>> .We hope and pray you and your family are well and continue protecting yourselves. We are canceling our GAP meetings until further notice, with a review of circumstances. How to Stay Calm During the Chinese-virus (AKA, Corona virus) Crisis

Does God Know Our Situation? YES! Jesus Appears to His Disciples, Has He Appeared To You For Your Confession And Communion?

GAP teacher, John Lawson, reminds us that discouragement and frustration can cause some of us to walk away from the fellowship. But we hope that is not what is happening in the response to the pandemic, so much as its forced realization of our frail grasp on life. As we Zoom in and seek to see Jesus, he does not always seem to be around. Worship has lost the element of corporate confession. Cognitive dissonance can grow. And that is a problem for its lack of closure, despite drive by blessings and Drive-In Church. All this can cause some of us to live in the past imagining Communion in a way that is not currently possible. It can cause some of us to question God’s care because of a lack of fellowship purposed for worship.

We all face, at times, a discouraged walk to Emmaus, but can also experience something along the way to help us to return to collective worship and face the future unafraid. Jesus Appears to His Disciples, Has He Appeared To You For Your Confession And Communion?

Today’s Prayer
O Father, you are righteous and holy, gracious and merciful. Thank you for claiming me as your child. Thank you for not leaving me alone, left only with my own power, as I try to live for you. I intentionally submit to the leadership of the Holy Spirit, knowing that the Spirit’s presence in my life is a gift from your love to help me live as your beloved child. Thank you for giving us such sweet assurance! I am thankful to know that there is no doubt that I belong to you; the presence of the Holy Spirit within me, the Spirit’s intercession for me, and the testimony of the Spirit to you that I am your child give me this assurance. For this gift of grace, and thousands of others, I thank you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
