Family,

My Facebook post of yesterday –

Jeremiah 32:37 I am going to gather the people from all the countries where I have scattered them in my anger and fury, and I am going to bring them back to this place and let them live here in safety.

Currently, after a string of violent attacks like the one on Mr. Ho, many members remain of our community are living in fear. As a society, we need to do better. We need to insure that all live here in safety.

Mr. Ho was a friend of George and Sandra Lee. Prayers for his grieving family and friend and for the shaken community.

Our preacher in Zoom Church tomorrow will be The Reverend Sydney Webster. Sydney was ordained at LABC. She is the pastor at Trinity Baptist Church in San Mateo as well as a hospice chaplain. Sydney will also join us for a sermon talkback and catch up conversation at the 2:00 pm Forum. Please join us for both.

Here is an offer of assistance from neighbor Pam Erickson –

Hi Jim! I am trying to help people that want to be vaccinated and qualify get vaccinated. If you know anyone in your community that needs assistance getting an appointment, please let me know. I know the technology can be hard to navigate, especially for some seniors so please let me know if I can help anyone. You can give them my phone number. I hope you are doing well!

Heads up! Tomorrow, Sunday, March 14th, is time change Sunday. Set your clocks ahead one hour.

A Time For Prayer meets this morning at 10:00.

Blessings,

Pastor Jim
