Hello Everyone,
Some updates on how we are responding to COVID-19 at Gloria
Dei. I posted a 17 minute video that covers these items in detail on YouTube.
You can watch it here.
Here is a bullet point list of topics.
The Office
·
Business continues, but the needs of our staff
make regular hours a challenge.
·
The staff is meeting on Saturday to discuss how
we will handle hours.
Preparations for “The
Worst”
·
On Saturday a small group will be recording
three worship services that will be posted at appropriate times so we can all
gather around God’s Word.
The Lord’s Supper
·
We are used to having the Lord’s Supper at all
of our Sunday services, but we will not have it the next two Sundays.
·
We will get back to having the Lord’s Supper
soon.
·
Remember that there are three Means of Grace:
The Word, Baptism, and the Lord’s Supper.
·
God is still at work in your life through the
Word and Baptism.
Opportunities to Hear
the Word
·
I am posting and recording Morning and Evening
devotions at www.lotrittens.blogspot.com.
They should be up at by 4:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. each day.
·
Bob is investigating ways to get Sunday School
and Bible Study materials to you.
·
We encourage you to look for opportunities to
pray together, talk about faith and hope while we face frustrations and fears.
Stay Connected
·
Text a word of encouragement to someone.
·
Call a friend – “How are you? Do you need
anything?”
·
Call someone tonight.
·
Remember we have people who will shop for those
who need the help.
·

Comment and say hello
I’m sure we will be doing more of these updates in the days
to come, but for now, please pray for one another and remember that everything
is going to be okay. Christ has won the victory.
Yours in Christ,
Pastor Tritten
