Psalm 138:7-8(ESV)
7Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand delivers me.
8The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands.
David reminds us in this Psalm that the Lord is in control of everything that is going on around us. Even though we may be surrounded by troubles, the Lord will deliver us because of His steadfast love. We are facing a fragile democracy and a chaotic world. The virus is still a health concern, and its variants are gaining ground among the unvaccinated population. I urge all of you to get the vaccination as soon as possible. It can be the difference between life and death.
The Lord continues to bless us here at New Covenant and we are continuing with our plan to reduce our worship services to 8:00 and 10:00 am beginning on the 1st Sunday in August. Fully vaccinated choir members who desire to, may return to choir rehearsals and participate at the 10:00 am worship service. The Music Ministry is the only ministry authorized to meet at this time. When it is determined that the Music Ministry can meet without any problems, we will then consider allowing other ministries and auxiliaries to meet as well.
All of us can participate in the “One Another Ministry.” Pray for one another, encourage one another, love one another, help one another, call and check on one another, and on and on it goes! We will get through this in a way that brings honor and glory to God’s holy name. We will begin live streaming the 10:00 am worship service on the 1st Sunday in August. Please do your best to remain connected to the Lord and each other during these troubled times.
Blessings and Be Safe,
Pastor Stanley M. Jacobs, Sr.
