Because God is Love and love transforms. ****************************** ALL CHURCH ACTIVITIES AND MEETINGS ARE CANCELLED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. Refer to the newsletter tab on this website for updates and messages from Pastor Jeff. ****************************** A Message from the PastorDear friends in Christ, I write this to share the news that, based on recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control, government leaders, and Bishop Paul Leeland, I have made the difficult decision to extend the suspension of public worship and church gatherings indefinitely. This is not surprising as the health and well-being of our community must be a top priority. Since health professionals are canceling all essential meetings and asking us to practice social distance, we are canceling all services, activities, and meetings at Sunrise until further notice. For many, the spread of this virus has caused fear and anxiety. Yet we are grateful that the Bible tells us, “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7). I pray that you would sense God’s peace in the midst of the storm. This does not mean we should be careless or reactionary, but rather walk in wisdom as we serve the Lord and our community in a way that demonstrates our trust in God and our love for people. I love you and am praying for you and your families’ continued safety and well-being, and for all those who are suffering and for those who have lost loved ones by this virus. I’m also praying for a cure from heaven and for our medical scientists, doctors, and nurses as they work tirelessly and selflessly dealing with the impact of this crisis. Be assured my dear friends, our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ know us, love us, and are watching over us. Of that we can be certain. No matter how frustrating, confusing, or scary this crisis gets, fear doesn't have the final say. 1 John 4:18 says, “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear.” Our hope is built on the perfect love of Jesus Christ and in the providence of Almighty God. The solution to this life challenge is adhering to government and healthcare officials' instructions and deep, heartfelt prayer and staying in the will of God. These unique challenges will pass in due time. I remain optimistic for the future and know the great and marvelous blessings that God has in store for those who love Him and serve Him faithfully. Brothers and sisters, listen intently and follow the recommendations of our health care professionals, but even more importantly, listen to the voice of God and trust Him, and keep looking up. May God's grace abound, Rev. Jeffrey Sypole, MDiv |
