Dear friends,
Let us pray for our communities impacted by power outages,
-most vulnerable and at risk with other complications
-our emergency /utility workers
-pets/shelters
-how we can serve as needed/wanted
-for safe /swift recovery
Some of us (including myself) may be without power still. In my personal situation living on the Eastside/Bellevue, power is unlikely to be restored till Saturday. We are now at my daughter’s with power/heat/wifi/cell.
We are continuing to assess the situation as our community is widespread. The church never lost power and our community nearest to our church has not been impacted directly, including many of our elderly.
And, we recognize that power may not be restored immediately to especially our friends on the Eastside, north of Seattle and some areas in Seattle itself. Our Congregational Care leader Joyce, Pastor Jackie, and myself are continuing to reach out.
We are available to listen, pray, and connect, and support during this time. Please reach out to each other/check in with one another as members/church body especially folx who may be in impacted areas where power may not be restored for few more days.
We will continue assessing the needs best as we can so that resources can be made available and provided.
Your pastor,
Wongee
