Isaiah 55: 6- 9

6 Seek the LORD while he may be found, call upon him while he is near.  7 Let the wicked forsake their way, and sinners their thoughts; Let them turn to the LORD to find mercy; to our God, who is generous in forgiving.  8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways—oracle of the LORD.  9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, my thoughts higher than your thoughts.

Greetings of peace and love!

Welcome to our Quarter 1 2021 Newsletter.  By this time of the year, most of you must be having pollen allergies of some kind, right?  Yes, that brings a lot of discomfort, but it is still a great time, considering what we are all experiencing during this time of pandemic.  The sight of light green leaves growing and flowers blooming truly bring out joy and a sense of hope that things change and can be beautiful again.

With all of these around us, we continue to give thanks and praise to our Lord for his faithfulness and love for us.  Recalling what have happened in our community in this first quarter, there is certainly no shortage of gatherings!  Your zeal and spirit are indeed inspiring. God has gifted us with technology and it is great to see how we make good use of it.

Thank you, our dear brethren.  United as one, we will get through this trying time.  Remember that we are here for one another and so please reach out for anything that you may need. Embrace the power and gift of our households.  Our prayers continue to be with each one of you and your families.

And as we await to see you face to face hopefully soon, take care of yourselves, always pray, and continue to share the love of God to others.

With love and prayers from your Area Servants,
Nemie and Judith Celemen
