Good Evening,

I pray that you and yours are well today in this time of anxiety, transition, and fear as we deal with many changes in our individual and common lives. There continue to be more questions than answers about the pandemic and how it will progress, and at times we may be very fearful and feel out of control.

But God continues to be with us and there are things we can do to enlist the power of God to bring peace, healing, and grace to our lives. We can pray. We can reach out to each other (in the coming days I will be making some phone calls to our members and I hope that if you need anything you will let me know). We also can worship God together even though we may be apart. Thus, I hope that you have been able to access the online worship that has been posted on our website and Facebook this week. I invite you to listen, pray along, and if it feels right, pick up a prayer book or go to bcponline.org (online Prayer Book) and join together in our common worship. We will be posting our filming of Morning Prayer Rite II on Sunday, and perhaps in a week or two we will try a livestream of Compline or Sunday morning worship.

In the meantime, may you know that God, whose power working in us, can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine: Glory to him form generation to generation in the Church, and in Christ Jesus for ever and ever.

In Christ,
Amanda
