Sunday's Preview
Read Mark 1:29-39 In this story everyone is searching for Jesus to heal and to cast out the evil powers in their lives. What are you searching for? Healing? Meaning? Purpose? Love? Jesus brings all of this as he enters homes and towns and various places. The gospel story is meant to make us aware that we are all searching for something. Jesus doesn’t just sit and wait for us to find him; he finds us. |
Prayer - Supplication
Click HERE for a video message. Join Deacon Terry Westerman and Pastor Jake Fain as they introduce the A C T S model of prayer. This week we explore prayer as Supplication (Asking). Jesus tells us to come to God in prayer. “So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” Luke 11:9 There is nothing that God wants us to hold back. Sometimes the answers we receive are not what we want; however, that does not mean we aren’t meant to keep trusting God provides and sharing our hearts’ desires. |
Weekly COVID-19 Update
We continue in Phase 1 of our Regathering Guidelines. Hospitalization percentage in our area moved below 20% this week. Comal county is still limiting businesses to 50% occupancy. We are tracking members that we are aware of that have tested positive to date: · 1 death If you have tested positive or know of anyone within our congregation that has tested positive, please notify the church promptly. We will be doing contract tracing and let others know of who might be at risk. In this map you will see the highlighted area, Area P. This is an exceptionally large area which includes San Antonio. The current statistics as of February 2, 2021: Hospitalizations: 19.04%. We had a decrease of 4.59% in a week's time. Very encouraging news. The Peace Regathering Team will be monitoring the daily COVID statistics and will continue to advise the church council on changes that impact our in-person worship services and church community. Our Peace Regathering Guidelines are modeled after the State of Texas opening guidelines. Instead of using active cases, which have proven to be difficult to gauge, we are monitoring the percentage of hospitalizations. |
