In the past two weeks, I am assuming you have received the same number of emails from a variety of areas of your life. Each of these emails wants to inform us that – as organizations, businesses, clubs, etc – the senders are doing everything they can to prepare for the arrival of the Coronavirus (COVID-19). Mount Calvary Lutheran Church’s staff – in communication with the church council – is also making its own plan for helping navigate our life together.

We all are confronted with the dilemma of how to respond in these challenging times. we take so much comfort in knowing that while we are physically apart, we are in the midst of this challenge together. God promises to hold us together and to be in our midst. We will continue to pray for one another, to worship simultaneously from our own homes, and to encourage each other as best we know how. We are aware of the fact that there are people in our community that have not received adequate communication with regards to our life as a congregation. We are working on ways to provide more opportunities to connect within our congregation and ask for your grace for any shortcomings.
