Guiding Principles Live as disciples of Christ. Be a safe place to disagree, finding unity in Christ. Value Christ-centered worship. Focus on the “we” and not the “me”. Celebrate the grace of God who gives us 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th…….chances. Embrace God’s transformative power. Feed all who hunger and thirst in our community and beyond. Strive to welcome and show God’s love for all.

Here's an interesting thought experiment: if someone has diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure and someone shoots them, they ail for a few hours then ultimately die...what is their cause of death?
We have more than 210,000 mourning families and communities, we cannot deny the cost of Covid even as it may be something we personally survive. That number seem too obscure?

Would you go to a Colts game if that last 3 games the 67,000 seats were filled and all people dropped dead? Or would you take some preventative measures and maybe even ask your family and neighbors to do the same?

Would you wonder if you should take precautions, ask if its a real threat, and fly on a plane if EVERYDAY for the past 6 months at least 2 planes full of 500 people crashed and no survivors remained?
We are all incredibly grateful for all recoveries and asymptomatic cases and folks who are well and whole even as they have gone through Covid. We pray for the continued health of everyone who suffers and all who work to keep us safe. But please for the love of your neighbors continue to take precautions and believe, Covid is not done with us yet.

We pray for President Donald Trump and First Lady, Melania, who have tested positive for Coronavirus. We pray for all people who have lost a loved one to this awful virus, we pray for all who are ill and ailing, we pray for healthcare workers, long term care residents and staff, and all people who are isolated and lonely. May God give us peace, kind hearts, and grant wisdom to our scientific community as it races to stop this virus in its tracks.

There’s room for everyone in this world, but there is not room for us to think we are better than one another. And just a gut check Christians, we remember Jesus isn’t white, right?
