How can I keep from singing?

Even in the midst of trials, God is with us.

No storm can shake my inmost calm while to that refuge clinging Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth, how can I keep from singing?

A God Sighting from Debbie LaFontaine

Although it may feel like the world is falling apart around us, I have seen God and God’s people doing great things.

    We managed to have our Council Meeting on Monday with 10 people in attendance from the comfort of their home. The technology worked great and we were able to have meaningful and productive conversation.
    Our Transition Team meet remotely on Tuesday evening.
    We had a virtual worship service on Wednesday with 20 people participating. There are still a few bugs to work out, but it generally was good. Those who participated enjoyed being able to connect with others from the congregation.
    The staff developed a plan for packing NOAH lunches this weekend. After making a few phone calls and sending a few texts, all of the items needed for making the lunches were accounted for and set to be at the church for this weekend. Most of the volunteer slots were filled within hours of posting the sign-up genius.
    We have 12 new users on our church app – that’s over 40 people!
    Our new church management software makes communication by email easier.
    We are blessed to have regular contributions through tithe.ly

The reality of social distancing has forced us into finding new ways to do ministry. Thank you God for leading us through these uncharted waters.

Trust in God

A God sighting from Peggy Nelson:

Many of you know that I have been dealing with Meniere’s disease for some time. One of the symptoms is nausea which is quite debilitating for me. At the beginning of February I made a trip to Massachusetts to care for my sister Nancy and her two boys. I was not sure how I was going to handle it with my Meniere’s but I went knowing that Nancy and boys needed me. I put my trust in God to get me through. And that He did – my nausea disappeared right after my plane landed in Massachusetts. I did not have any problems the whole time I was taking care of Nancy. I returned to Michigan at the beginning of April and I’m sorry to say that my nausea has returned. But I also want to say that God is amazing – He made sure I was OK while Nancy and boys needed me!
