A Message from Bishop Mark Holmerud: Four words: It’s not time yet. It’s not time yet:... + to return to indoor worship + to stop wearing masks + to forget physical distancing + to ignore science + to gather in large groups for Thanksgiving + to deny the exponential growth of cases of COVID-19 being diagnosed every day in this country and around the world Four more words: I know you’re tired. I know you’re tired: + of not being able to be with family and friends + of not being able to worship together in the sanctuary and sing + of not being able to travel + of not being able to leave your home + of not being able to hold your grandchildren/children/loved ones + of hearing admonitions like this from health professionals and bishops Four last words: God is in control (Psalm 23). God is in control: + even (and especially) in this time of pandemic (Psalm 91) + despite what some see as evidence to the contrary (Psalm 46) + through the work of health care workers, clinicians, and epidemiologists (Sirach 38) + in the presence of courageous essential workers (Ecclesiastes 3:1-15) + as we help God’s reign come near in seeking the well-being of the most vulnerable among us (Matthew 25:31-46) + because nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus (Rom. 8:31-39) Blessings and Peace in this season of Thanksgiving, Bp. Mark

Love that online worship makes it so easy to gather folks from far and wide. Today's guest speaker was Regina Banks of the Lutheran Office of Public Policy, California. She reminded us to consider the ways we give of ourselves as we care for God's people.
