Well, our “different Sunday” may be
our new normal for a while. We did get to watch the live-stream of our worship
and sermon again. We also got to watch the live-stream of one of my sister’s
services, where she was playing most of the music.
We did several additional prayer/Scripture/song
times spread out throughout the day, similar to last Sunday (although, not as
many ☹).
We started with praising God for who He
is, then a thanksgiving session for all His provisions and blessings, and then
prayers for how we could help others during this difficult time. It was
encouraging to hear all the attributes of God that James and Sarah thought of for
which to praise God, all the blessings they appreciated and their own creative
ideas on helping others.

Acts 4:23-24, 29-30 23 On their release,
Peter and John went back to their own people and reported all that the chief
priests and the elders had said to them. 24 When they heard this, they raised their voices together in
prayer to God. “Sovereign Lord,” they said, “you made the heavens and the
earth and the sea, and everything in them… 29 Now, Lord, consider
their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. 30 Stretch out your hand to
heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant
Jesus.”
We can pray for safety and health during this time, but notice
what Peter and John prayed during their time of crisis. They first praised God
for who He is and then asked for boldness to continue spreading His message. We
can do the same! The biggest need of people right now is to know their Creator,
whether they end up seeing Him soon or not for many more years.
