Evening: Psalms 141, 143:1-11; Mark 10:32-45
Yesterday I saw a sign thanking essential service workers. Then I heard that one State says churches should stay open - as essential service providers. It is indeed an essential service of churches these days to remain open, yes ... open-hearted. Servant communities care for those they serve by not gathering. Jesus showed that service requires us to make sacrifices for others. He sacrificed his life. Giving up meeting for a while is a small sacrifice for a servant community. Churches’ essential service right now is not to meet. Aren’t telephones wonderful, though!? Keep your distance, yes ... but call.
