Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

I hope you are staying safe and following guidelines to keep you and your family healthy. Sometimes I think that I will wake up from this bad dream of the Covid-19 and everything will be back to normal. I am baking more, eating more Twizzlers and candy, cleaning, watching movies, and reading the Gather to help keep me keep busy and grounded. My Women of the ELCA circle is meeting on Zoom every week to check in with others, pray, share concerns, lift each other up, and do a Bible lesson. I have been trying to mail out notes to other members of the congregation to keep in touch. Thankfully, as humans and Christians, we can adapt.
