Dear Forcey Family,

I have had Hebrews 10:23-25 on my heart today:

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another – and all the more as you see the Day approaching!

I praise God for the ways we are considering how to spur one another on and how to remain connected during this unique season!

Please do remember to pray for the Ford family as Jonathan’s mother, Linda, has gone home to be with the Lord and his father, Lou, is currently fighting COVID-19.

Sunday we will be livestreaming at 10am. You can find us at www.forcey.org/live. You can also find us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/forceyconnects. We will enjoy a time of welcome, worship, prayer, and message together. I will be sharing a message called “Commanding Hope” from Luke 7:1-10 about our need to “Give control to the One in control.” Please do share this message with whoever you can! Notes for this message are available here: SERMON NOTES / REFLECTION QUESTIONS

I want to encourage you about three other things:

• We are encouraging people to gather in “Zoom Groups” to discuss the message after the livestream on Sundays. Please click on this link to request to join one of these groups: ZOOM GROUP INVITATION

 

• While we are doing our best to stay in touch with everyone, please do not hesitate to reach out and to let us know if you have a need! Please do email us at [email protected]. Our pastors and leaders (as well as our whole body!) are still very much engaged in ministry at every level of need in this season!

 

• We are all praying for the Lord to provide in this season according to His promise to “meet all our needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19). As the Lord enables you, please remember to give in this season at www.forcey.org/give. You can also still mail checks to the church at 2130 East Randolph Rd / Silver Spring MD 20904. During this week’s livestream we will have a special segment devoted to giving and praying for the Lord’s provision together.

Let’s continue to “fix our eyes on Jesus together” –

With you and for you,

Pastor Michael Foster
