Coronavirus? Let's love our neighbors.

Hey Bethel Church family,
There’s a lot of talk about the coronavirus these days. Too much hype? Not enough? I’m not sure.
But here are some things I am sure of:

1. We don’t need to respond in fear. Fear doesn’t help. It usually leads to confusion.
   
   
2. This is a great time to love your neighbor. Lead with faith; live by faith and be ready to share the hope you have with your neighbors.
   
   
3. Take common sense precautions:
   - Wash your hands
   - Cover your cough
   - Stay home if you’re sick, etc.
   
   
4. Continue to be the church gathered. Come to worship on Sundays. Gather in Bible study groups.
   BE THE CHURCH! Community is at the heart of who we are.
   
   
5. We will not have communion this Sunday, March 15. Instead, there will be a prayer and communion gathering on Sunday, March 22 at 6:00 PM (Bethel Fergus Falls). We’d love to have you come.
   
   
6. And let’s pray. God’s word says this in Philippians 2:6-7
   Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

God bless you.
