“This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it!” (Psalm 118:24).
As Christians, we have so many reasons to rejoice. First and foremost, we are loved by God and saved through faith in Jesus Christ. There is no greater thing than knowing Him! I am rejoicing that some of us got to worship in person on campus last Sunday. It was terrific to see some of you that I haven’t laid eyes on for the last three months. And from what I hear, we have an even bigger group showing up this week!
Eleven Sundays… The last time we gathered together in-person for worship on our church campus was March 15, 2020. Because of COVID-19, eleven Sundays have passed where we have all worshipped the Lord from our homes and utilized creative technological means of encouraging Christian fellowship and spiritual growth. For the last eleven Sundays, the church has not stopped being the church. In fact, the scope of our outreach may have even grown some as many people have accessed our online resources.

I will say it again: Rejoice! I hope your family is singing together to express your joy in the Lord. Ephesians 5:18-19 closely ties together being filled with the Holy Spirit and making music in your heart to the Lord through psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. There are many good songs to sing about the Holy Spirit.

I wish we were gathering together for worship in our building on our campus this Sunday. Sadly, we are not, and it currently seems that we may be in for a longer wait until it is wise and loving to gather in large groups once again. The Lord gives, and the Lord takes away. May the name of the Lord be praised.
