Our news is rife with political updates and of course the rise and spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). If you want to know more about how COVID-19 is affecting King County, please feel free to click here. We have received guidance from our King County Health Officer recommending that gatherings of 50 or more people do not happen in person. Sadly, this would include our Sunday Morning Worship Service.  

We have received guidance from the King County Health office recommending that gatherings of 50 or more people do not happen in person. Sadly, this would include our Sunday Morning Worship Service.  We want to encourage you to continue to exercise caution for your health and the health of others. 

While the Coronavirus situation is alarming, we are grateful that we have other ways of engagement. I want to encourage you to call a friend to spend time checking in on them and asking how they are doing.

This Sunday we will continue our Lenten series on “Wind in the Wilderness” as we study the prophet Jeremiah. Jeremiah’s story was profound. Last Sunday, in the tear away question is “What is something someone said to you that is still profound in your life today?”. If you have any more responses to share, please feel free to email me your responses dj@revdj.com.

Daily devotion starting this Sunday

Heart - Reflection questions to use after this Sunday’s worship service.

What does the saying, “Stick and stones will break my bones, but words
will never hurt me” mean to you?

How do words speak louder than actions?

Where and how do you hear God calling you to listen, act and respond
today?

Hands - This is your opportunity to take what you’re learning and put faith into action. We encourage you to view this as a spiritual discipline meant to help you practice your faith.

What words can you say (or have you said) to another person that can be a prophetic word of hope this week?

Head - Daily Scripture reading
Next Sunday’s Scripture: Hosea 1:1-9
Monday: Hosea 1:1-9 

Tuesday: Hosea 1:2-4 

Wednesday: Hosea 1:5-6

Please know that I am holding you in our prayers this week. While we will not gather in person, I pray the Holy Spirit to dwell among you until we see each other in person again. 

Grace and Peace, 

Pastor DJ
