Dear friends,
Here are some options for worship and prayer in these weeks when we at King of Kings are “fasting” from gathering as a congregation because of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).
FOR SATURDAY 3/21 & SUNDAY 3/22 WORSHIP
There will be no services this weekend. I have prepared a sermon. Visit here to read or print it.
Christ Lutheran (Fullerton and South Sts. In Newburgh, across from NFA) will be offering a livestream of its worship at 10:00 am (Sunday, 3/22), with the live feed beginning a couple of minutes prior to that. You may access this service at facebook.com/christnewburgh. The church will not be open.
SET TIMES FOR PRAYER
You are invited to join with other members and friends of King of Kings to pray “together” (wherever you happen to be) three times a day: at 9:00 am, 12:30 pm, and 8:00 pm. You may join in prayer once a day or three times or whenever you remember. You may pray your own prayers, use the litany from Luther Seminary, or pray the prayer below.
Holy God,
As we are separated for the sake of the more vulnerable among us, please watch over all your people. Help us to be wise and careful, and help us to care for one another. In Jesus’ name we pray. AMEN
SANCTUARY OPEN DURING OFFICE HOURS
The sanctuary will be open during office hours, Monday-Friday, 10:30 am-12:30 pm. Prayer aids will be available.
Visit this link for a few resources which may be helpful.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you are in need of a listening ear. You are all in my prayers.
Pastor Mary Lou
