DO - talk about the new #coronavirus disease (#COVID19)
DON'T - attach locations or ethnicity to the disease, this is not a “Wuhan Virus”, “Chinese Virus” or “Asian Virus”.
The official name for the disease was deliberately chosen to avoid stigmatization

President Trump drew backlash after posting a tweet using the phrase “Chinese Virus.”

If theological knowledge, moral obedience or religious observance could save you, the life, death and resurrection of Jesus wouldn’t have been necessary. Grace.
Corporate worship is designed to remind again and again of the grace that rescues, that forgives, that transforms, that empowers, that delivers and that is your only hope in this life and the one to come.
In this new year may the Lord bless you with eyes to clearly see and heart to willing receive all that he has for you and may you always remember his presence, his promises and his power.
