May the Peace of our Risen Christ be with you!
I have good news-Easter isn't just one Sunday a year.  We will be in the Easter season for a few weeks, so if you have had any difficulty getting into "the spirit" of it, you still have time.  And, I think that when we do finally manage to reconvene for in person worship, we should do so with a great deal of celebration!  

Thank you all for the information you give me on how the worship experiences have been.  Our sanctuary is not exactly outfitted with the technology needed for good audio.  However, if you have trouble hearing it on your computer, it is possible that I can talk you through or visit to help you adjust your sound.  There are couple of different places where those adjustments can be made.  

If somehow you missed the link to hear/read the sermon and more, you can click on this link:  https://sway.office.com/r72zV16pfLHPZTgk?ref=Link

Friends, let us not forget the people we know who are unable to leave the house, or have serious health conditions which put them at greater risk for developing infections. 

Whoever may have a need to talk to me privately for a little spiritual, emotional support, or you just want to pray together by phone is invited to call me 575-708-0860.  The isolation of staying at home (or the pressure of having to work with the public, as I know some of you are) can begin to wear on us.  In this time, you may certainly share my cell phone with others who may want someone to talk to.  I'm not a trained therapist, but I can certainly listen.  Your confidentiality is assured.  

If you are interested in seeing past sermons or viewing music I have been exploring for our worship services, you are invited to visit our YouTube Channel at:  www.youtube.com/channel/UC7LfA-_fyuUZBZJwtkZpMLg?view_as=subscriber

It has been heartening to see how some of you have felt compassion overwhelm you, so that you are thinking of what we can do to help serve our neighbors.  I hope that you will continue to think of the opportunities for mission, in spite of this pandemic's tragedy.  Please don't forget to exercise healthy choices, wash hands regularly, and cover any coughs.  And also, God is with us, can unite us in faith and mission, even when we are physicially apart.

You are in my prayers. May God bless you and keep you today and always.
Love,
Rev. Amy
