As Christians, we are to care for the most physically
vulnerable among us. One reason we have
suspended our normal worship services is to protect the health of the many
among our body who are very young, and those who are advancing in years. Others have immunological concerns.
Further, we are to care for those who are socially
vulnerable. Those who are shut-in, or in
other ways alone. If we cannot gather as the body, we must
tether one to another. Social
distance does imply emotional distance. As
I shared last Sunday, Stewardship of the Community rejects isolation. Each of us must commit to connect with
someone else. And we must be willing to
let others connect to us! The church is
at its weakest when it is divided. Let
the church (The People of God) rise up!
Let us forge creative ways to connect with each other.
