"Call to me and I will
answer you and tell you great and
unsearchable things you do not know."
(Jeremiah 33:3)
“Breathe
on Us Again”, Promise Keepers
Hi
Family!!!
It was
a beautiful day yesterday… but now it is quite a cloudy day today. Actually, we
do not know what our day will bring us each day; however, again, we know God
hides sunshine behind the cloud up high above. But we are able to see it through…
with the eyes of our faith because we know God is faithful!
Hope
you go out, from time to time, and walk for a while even though you don’t have
to meet and talk with anyone whom you meet on your way to walk. We can just
show our big smiles without shaking our hands or saying much - not easy though.
If this is the way that we can keep down the speed of the unseen virus’ spreading
until our cure is coming, we want to follow it continually even though it is
not our nature.
Seems
like we are not able to gather for celebrating the resurrection Sunday as well
as this Palm Sunday; however, we will continue to worship in spirit and truth
through online. Our office will keep the door open during our regular hours (M/W/F
from Noon till 4:00 p.m.) with Ms. Izzy, and continue to carry the ministry of
Christ’s church in Markesan and Princeton area without stopping.
So
please continue to pray for us and our ministry without ceasing!! Everything is
depending on your prayers!!
Now,
I want to remind you a few things this week. Until all of the dangers from
COVID 19 is cleared, we will take this challenging time as our opportunity to
grow deeper and stronger in the presence of God in truth and spirit… even
staying at home. In other words, we will
pray together more, we will sing together more, and we will read the words of
God more, making those our habits as our Christian character. So please don’t
forget to tithe your time, energy, heart and all other resources that God has
given us as we practice those with God each and every day!!!
When
you have to come for dropping off your regular offerings or taking some
resources or information from the church or serving, please also keep washing
your hands before entering and leaving the building with the hand sanitizer provided
or use gloves as well… and keep the healthy social distancing (at least 6 feet)
when you talk each other in the church building. We all need to keep healthy as
long as possible, such a time as this, to carry the ministry of the church
continually until it is over. Victory is ours because of the presence of God
through Jesus Christ! Amen!
Now
our churches will continue to find alternative ways to worship together, to
grow together, to pray together as well as to meet together through online. So
please keep connected with each other and with our web site for further
information.

I
also attached our most current Newsletter in this email. Please take our
newsletter as a helpful tool for your spiritual growing during this time since
it has lots of steps that we can make each day, each week and each month.
Thank
you all for joining our online service on Sunday last week as well as Lenten
Experience last Wednesday… also thank you for joining our social network through
Facebook, Twitter and Blog. Again, I was so thankful when you all joined
worship there on Sunday morning. God was truly there for us and with us as we
open our hearts and minds to worship in spirit and truth. And also I felt so
connected with you when you respond to our social network posts.
So
don’t forget to join us those two special online gatherings this week too, one
on Wednesday evening at 6:00 p.m., our last week of Lenten Experience with Jonah,
the prophet, and the other on Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m. Also don’t forget to
communicate through our social network - If you find anyone missing in our connection,
please also let us know, we will find the way to connect with them.
This
will be a great growing experience for us to learn from each other and also
share our faith with all those who joined our circle inside of our church and
outside of the church as well. So be ready each time of our online gathering
with expectation… also with your own bible… to dance with God!
If
you have any questions or prayer concerns, please don’t hesitation to share
with me or through the office. We will be happy to answer you and include you
in our prayer list.
If
you also want to keep that in private, please also call me, email me or message
me and let me know. I will love to hear from you all!
Now
we have our prayer list updated for this week. Let us continue to call upon the
name of the Lord as we move out of the box of mortality and keep clean and
distance from the unseen enemy evil including COVID 19. We will find the
treasure of heaven through this challenging time as we worship God in spirit
and truth continually and we will find the Kingdom of God there!
Be
clean and keep distance!!
