I've been very conscious, talking to members of the church community over the telephone recently, that many of you have relatives and friends who are 'front line' workers. Even as we 'isolate' in relative safety I know that, on a daily basis, you are very much aware of the risks that come with their jobs, both in hospitals and out in the community.
This weekend we would have been commissioning our Elders for another year of Christian service and, indeed, on Tuesday of this week we would have meet together for one of our monthly meetings. At the moment much of the 'business' of church life is being overseen by The Church Officers' Meeting every Wednesday, with descions then ratified by email later that day. Such 'emergency' arrangements won't last for ever and we do look forward to meeting in committee once this is over. (Things really have changed if I'm hearing myself saying I'm actually looking forward to committee meetings!!)
May you, this weekend, know God's joy and blessing in all you do.
Ian
