Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
Philip Gulley, a Quaker pastor, wrote a book that is one of my favourites called Front Porch Tales. I have always found the stories in it to be down to earth and spirit lifting and I want to share one with you now.
In light of the current situation in Canada due to COVID-19, and to protect the staff and congregation of Woodroffe United Church, we have decided to suspend all activities, including Sunday morning services and weekday programs until April 1 April 6, at the earliest.
Remember that you are not alone, you live in God's world.* We are hoping that these measures will help to curb the spread of the virus and we pray for your continued health.
*from the UCC's A New Creed.
