Reflecting on your calls

We look forward to hearing what you are hearing. We know many people are watching and loving the live-stream Sunday worship. Many of our ministries, classes, and groups have been meeting on-line, in the tent, or on driveways or in backyards. Our email newsletter, Facebook and Instagram pages, and website are successfully communicating our activities and updates. Our Daily Prayer Line 816-333-4920 allows those who do not have internet access to hear a prayer and leave intentions using just their telephone.

Many of our senior members live under tight restrictions in their community or are sheltering in their home. Generally speaking, they may be eager to talk and learn of opportunities to pray and serve remotely. On the other hand, we have many families who work and have school-age children. Classes and extracurricular activities may be in-person or on-line but either way, things are especially hectic for parents and guardians now. They may have limited time and energy – a reality to which we are very sensitive.

You may also encounter a member or visitor who is not quite so in touch with our church since the pandemic began. Your call is helping to deepen and strengthen our relationship – a blessing for them and for us. Thank you for your time, your compassion, and your faithful service.

“One day Jesus called together his twelve apostles… Then he sent them away to tell everyone about the coming of the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick.” (Luke 9:1-2)
