Hello Parents, I hope that everyone is staying warm and dry today. What gross weather!

Join us this Sunday as Brother Zhemin Liang (LifeLight Congregation) preaches from Philippians 2; "Contemplating Christian Living".

Events 
2/14-2/17 High School Winter Teen Conference (No Friday Night Youth Ministry)
2/21-2/23 Middle School Winter Teen Conference (No Friday Night Youth Ministry)
3/20-3/21 30 Hour Famine at Chinese Bible Church of Greater Lowell (Middle School/High School 

*I am currently working on a plan to have Sunday school on those sundays. 

The church would like to remind you all that our policy regarding the coronavirus is that "if you have traveled to Asia recently (China,Taiwan, Hong Kong) or have been in contact with anyone who has, we would request you to abstain/stay home from church activities for 2 weeks".

As many of you know, there is much fear and concern regarding the spread of the coronavirus both in China as well as here in the US. Often times when we are faced with is now considered a global health crisis, we don't know how to respond. 

Our first response might be to fear and anxiety. And in many other cases our natural reaction or, at least what we feel like we should do, is to pray. But what do we pray for? I think it's pretty clear that a good thing to pray for is for a speedy end to the spread of the virus, and that no further lives would be lost. But beyond that, what do we pray for? And what do we pray for or what do we continue to pray for when our prayers may not be getting the answers we were hoping for?

I think that the article posted below is helpful for us to consider and frame our prayers around. 


1. Trust God with your fears.

2. Encourage others to trust God.

3. Call out to God.

4. Remember God’s salvation.

5. Worship.





God bless and have a great day!


Eric
