The board of trustees met this evening and one of the topics discussed was the security of the church in light of recent events both in town and in the country as a whole. If you are concerned, please know that the issue is being discussed and will be addressed. Please also heed the words of the angels, a message God is so urgently trying to convey to us: “Be not afraid.” God loves us, God’s providence provides and cares for us every day of our lives, and no matter what happens, God is with us and for us. Do not let fear undermine your ability to live as a faithful disciple of Jesus Christ.
