Greetings Brothers and Sisters of Kedron.

This is the day the Lord has made! Rejoice and be glad in it!

Yet, how strange and different not to be in worship and fellowship together. It’s like it snowed ten inches but we can’t see it! I drove to both churches just to greet any possible unsuspecting worshippers or visitors. In the quiet I prayed and imagined “all the people we care for and share our lives with.”

I also watched a live steaming Facebook worship service from Goosepond UMC pastor Eric Ross. Jamie Brabham, singer and guitarist, was the only other one onscreen playing hymns. I think they broadcast from Eric’s house! I was blessed!

Hope you tuned in to a worship service somewhere (or will). LeNoir has been sick but watched Woodmont Baptist this morning. They did not gather as a congregation but the pastor preached and also had musicians.

There are many ways to worship until we return together at our respective congregations. And we may attempt our own FB service next Sunday! The technical details have to be worked out! If not that, we will look at other alternatives!

In any event, I will be sending out a worship “memo” later in the week. And I encourage all to find ways to support one another and “bear each other’s burdens” during this time of national emergency. Pray for one another and be well!

More later during the coming week. “Fear not!”

Peace and Grace,

Pastor Barry
