With our theme of Being a House of Prayer, we're going to have a pastoral prayer every Sunday. We'll have a different topic to pray for each month led by an elder. April's prayer topic is "the lost". Today, Elder Wayne Bullock read Psalm 146 and led us in prayer for the lost especially those who might be deceived into thinking they are saved.
Minister Matt Darby brought a powerful word today on the topic "Fear Not In Times of Trouble" from Isaiah 41:10,13-14.
Next Sunday, we're back in the book of James for our series The Gospel & Works.
We had our church family meeting today. Please be in prayer for the following people who are experiencing bereavement:
For those who use CashApp, please put your full name in the notes as you give to the church so we can do proper accounting.
We want to encourage everyone to use Realm. Add your photo to your profile and use groups in Realm to connect with other members. To get new groups created, contact Min. Matt Darby or Elder Bobby Dunn. We'll also be gathering the skills and interests of members in Realm.
I encourage everyone to complete the Census. NC has a very low return rate. If you've filled it out already, encourage others to do so. If you need help, contact Evangelist Tayon Dancy or Min. Matt Darby.
Please refer to our COVID-19 Resource page for a central location for information and resources in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We will periodically update this page with the information received. This is also where you'll find the church's WebEx information.
Even though we are “sheltering in our homes”, we can still be faithful to the Great Commission to make disciples (even when we can't “go”)

- Go where you already are relationally (connect with the people virtually or by phone that you already have a relationship with; offer to help tutor kids whose parents may be overwhelmed)

- Plant the seeds of God's Word (when you have encounters with neighbors or others, no matter how brief, plant as many seeds as you can)
- Show extraordinary compassion (show empathy and compassion for those hurting financially, emotionally, and physically)
- Prayer is the work (prayer is not the least we can do, it's the most we can do)
