A Letter from Our Pastor

Dear Friends in Christ,

It seems like everyday brings new changes and we have to learn how to ‘be church’ differently.  I hope and pray that you are all doing well and not going too stir-crazy yet.  I just wanted to keep you updated with some of the things that are taking place.  We have begun a calling tree at both congregations.  I have a list of the names and numbers of the members from both Bethany and Trinity.  We will be calling folks each week to see how you are doing.  Right now at Bethany, Dorothy Richard has volunteered to take on the first 13 names on the list to call each week.  At Trinity Kandy Unger has volunteered to take the first 10 names there.  We are looking for volunteers to help with this effort.  We need 5 more from Bethany and 4 more from Trinity.  If you would be willing to help make these calls please let me know and I can get you the list of names and numbers.

Also, I would like to know what prayer requests you have.  Whether they are for yourself, family, friends, or our country we will assemble a team of prayer warriors to hold you in prayer.  Again, if any would like to participate as a prayer warrior let me know and I will see that the requests are distributed.

If there are any needs such as groceries, drives to doctors appointments, and such let me know we have some volunteers who are willing to help with those needs as well.

Check you respective church’s websites Bethany – blcgrantsburg.org or Trinity – tlcfalun.com we will be posting updates on those sites as well as videos of devotionals and worship services.  While you are on the website, make sure to click the Facebook icon to go to the Facebook pages of each church.  In the menu along the top you can click “follow” and any new updates there will come to you as we plan on posting new information on the Facebook pages too.  As of now, we are looking to have a worship service on the sites for this coming Sunday.  I will email you more information about time and provide you with some worship resources that will go along with the service later this week.

I am attaching a family devotional along with this email.  Feel free to use this individually or with family.

We may be separated physically but we are still gathered together spiritually as the body of Christ.  If there is anything that you need please let me know, and look for updates on our websites and Facebook pages.  Also, thank you to those who have sent in their weekly offerings.  Your generosity is greatly appreciated.

May the peace of God be with you all,

Pastor Jay
