Dear Clarity Church Family,
As you have probably now heard, this afternoon Gov. Tim Walz held a news conference at the state capitol Friday with Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) Commissioner Jan Malcolm. They are announcing "community mitigation" strategies for Minnesotans, and Walz has declared a peacetime state of emergency. (1)
All over social media there have been very balanced and appropriate scriptural responses to our new realities. I am not going to try to pretend I have anything more to add to the conversation that has already been said. I will say - as one local church pastor has already communicated…
“I urge you to press into God hard during these stressful times. Remember the Word of God today: ‘Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.’ - Philippians 4:6”
What I also wanted to communicate is that we do plan on holding a gathering this Sunday, but with a few changes. Because the school district has closed their facilities to non-school groups until April 12th, we will NOT be gathering at Edinbrook Elementary this Sunday.
Instead we will be gathering online, this Sunday at 10am at online.claritychurch.org
We are currently working out the details of how to make this possible, so please stay tuned to our facebook page, instagram and groupme if you are connected to one of our missional communities. We will let you know as soon as that page goes live, with instructions on how you can best engage with our online gathering.
During this special gathering we will be leading you in worship and communion (so find some bread and wine/juice). And it should be of no surprise that our planned passage of scripture we were going to look at can give us guidance in how we are to view what many are considering a time of much anxiety and stress.
There is something we really believe He wants to say to our church in particular during this time!
Due to the ongoing fluidity of the situation, we will be evaluating - on an almost daily basis - all future gatherings and when we will meet. So please stay connected as we decide each week what is best in helping continually living life on mission together with God in the current realities we are facing.
Let us know if you have any questions.
Serving Christ Together,
Pastor Phil
P.S. Again…as one pastor has told his congregation, I want to communicate to you,”…[In light of our current reality] be a light in the darkness for people. People are worried. Show them your faith and hope this week!”
