  In This Together!

  St. Paul wrote to the church in Philippi (1:3-6): “I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

  I feel the same about all of you. I appreciate your flexibility and understanding as we walk together through such a time as this. I am especially thankful for and covet your prayers. The Lord is at work among us even during a pandemic. It seems each week He teaches me something new about what it means to be Church.

  This week He reminded me that it’s not all about me! Perhaps you can relate. COVID-19 has impacted our lives in so many ways. Many of the things we once took for granted are no longer available to us. Life even within the church has been affected. Each of us has had to change or adjust our expectations. Instead of asking how will this change affect me, God has reminded me to ask how can this change bring glory to Him and further His kingdom?

  I am thankful for the way that our staff and volunteers have answered the call during this difficult time! I appreciate your understanding that we are all in this together and we may not always have the kind of music or worship service that you would normally prefer. Unfortunately, at this time there are not enough hours in the week for me to prepare two separate worship services each weekend, traditional and contemporary. So, here’s my plan: The first and third Sundays of the month will be blended with both traditional hymns and contemporary praise music; and on the second and fourth Sundays of the month we will have traditional services.

  I started this message with words from St. Paul to the Christians in Philippi and now I close with these words from chapter 2 (vv. 3-4): “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.” May God give each of us this kind of heart!

  Your servant for Christ’s sake,

  Pastor Barry Akers
