Christ Church has Closed

12/28/2021

We continue to pray for you, though we no longer meet formally or in a building.

Everything on earth
has its own time
and its own season.

There is a time
for birth and death,
planting and reaping,

for killing and healing,
destroying and building,

for crying and laughing,
weeping and dancing,

for throwing stones
and gathering stones,
embracing and parting.

There is a time
for finding and losing,
keeping and giving,

for tearing and sewing,
listening and speaking.

There is also a time
for love and hate,
for war and peace.

What do we gain by all our hard work? I have seen what difficult things God demands of us. God makes everything happen at the right time. Yet none of us can ever fully understand all he has done, and he puts questions in our minds about the past and the future.

I know the best thing we can do is to always enjoy life, because God's gift to us is the happiness we get from our food and drink and from the work we do.

Everything God has done will last forever; nothing he does can ever be changed. God has done all this, so that we will worship him.

-King Solomon in Ecclesiastes 3:1-14

God be with you 'til we meet again
