A thought for encouragement and motivation from a classic work: We have to learn to live in the grey day according to what we saw on the mount. Don’t cave in because you have been baffled once. Get at it again. -Oswald Chambers (MUFHH - April16)... Do this in the continued mercy and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, dear church! Much love

He who would know love, let him retire to Calvary and see the Man of sorrows die. -Charles Spurgeon Church! Know afresh the love of our God through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ on this Good Friday. ...Read the Word. Think on Him. Intercede for those in need.

Blessed Maundy-Thursday dear Church! ...Jesus washed His disciples' feet. Wow. What humility. Remember to "wash" one another in love and prayer today! Phone a brother or sister in Christ that you don't normally talk to and show them some love through care and prayer! Much love church family. #maundythursday #notMONDAYthursday ;) Artwork Cred: @jagosilver #thoughtstomakeyourheartsing

This, dear church... the pastoral wisdom of Martin Luther when facing "deadly plagues." It's good..... "I shall ask God mercifully to protect us. Then I shall fumigate, help purify the air, administer medicine and take it. I shall avoid places and persons where my presence is not needed in order not to become contaminated and thus perchance inflict and pollute others and so cause their death as a result of my negligence. If God should wish to take me, he will surely find me a...nd I have done what he has expected of me and so I am not responsible for either my own death or the death of others. If my neighbor needs me however I shall not avoid place or person but will go freely as stated above. See this is such a God-fearing faith because it is neither brash nor foolhardy and does not tempt God." Martin Luther, Works v. 43, p. 132. Letter "Whether one may flee from a Deadly Plague"

Church family, After much discussion and prayer, we have decided to postpone in-person church gatherings as a precaution for the COVID-19. So we will not be meeting at either location (RidgeParadise and VespersChico) today. It is possible that this will also extend into future weeks, so we will keep you posted on what the plans are. Forgive us for the late notice on this. Up until the end of the week we felt confident to keep our meeting scheduled with some new precautions ...added in. That changed last night and this morning though and we now think it best to postpone. However, This is STILL the Lord's Day where God's people celebrate the resurrection of Jesus and worship His name! So even though we cannot be together in person, we will be sending out an email later with our worship service for today....the prayers, scripture readings, songs, even a sermon. I highly encourage you to worship with us, even though it will be at home :) I will leave you with the verse that you would have heard me read at the beginning of the worship service today. Psalm 46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God." Grace and Peace, josh lee

Ridge/Vespers Presbyterian Church Week of January 28 - February 3 Church Family, As I’ve prayed for you these past few weeks, this verse has continually come to mind: I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. Phili...Continue reading
