Recently, I found our bishop’s article from our conference website especially helpful.
Stay home
if at all ill or concerned and worship online. Anyone who is feeling ill, particularly from fever, cough or shortness of breath, should stay home. Please consider viewing a livestream of your church’s service. If your church does not livestream here is a list of churches and links for United
Methodist worship services throughout Virginia as well as tips to start livestreaming your worship services.
Maintain excellent hygiene.
This message from our public health authorities cannot be emphasized enough. Please wash your hands regularly and avoid touching your face. Hand sanitizer should also be in highly visible places at all churches. Please use as necessary.
Be a loving, non-anxious presence
. Encourage those in your church and community to be non- anxious during this time and to use best cleanliness practices. We are people of faith and, as such, should lead from love and not fear. We trust in God and will extend compassion to those suffering.
Pray. Placing our trust in God,
let us continue to pray for those suffering from COVID-19 and their families as well as for leaders and professionals in the United States and worldwide working to contain COVID-19 and find a vaccine.
Friends, Despite the difficult year we've faced, I know and trust that God is not done with us. Please join me as we continue to pray that we find that grace to offer this God to all.
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?... I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
In Christ,
Yun Kim
