Boston Resiliency Fund – The COVID-19 coronavirus has wreaked havoc on our daily lives, as much of Greater Boston has shut down. Some individuals have been impacted physically and financially. Therefore, our church has been collecting a special offering over the past two Sundays (April 5, 12) and today is the final Sunday collection for the Boston Resiliency Fund, created by the City of Boston. Priorities of this fund include providing access to food for various at-risk populations, technology to Boston Public School students for remote learning, and support to first responders and health care workers who are on the frontlines fighting this pandemic. Please write a check to our church designating “Charity Fund” and “COVID-19” in the memo line. For online donations through Elexio, please have the same designations in the comments section. To date, the amount collected is already at $16,881 – praise the Lord!

Mask Collection – We invite church members to donate personal protective equipment (listed below) for health care workers at Tufts Medical Center. Please email srministry@bcec.net so the Social Responsibility Committee can arrange to receive your donation. To date, the social responsibility team has collected and delivered more than 2000 masks and 1500 gloves. Many brothers and sisters have also shared that they made their own deliveries to hospitals as well. Praise God and thank you for your generous donation so far. Please continue to pray for medical workers as they do their life-saving work under stressful conditions.

To prepare for worshiping online together, we offer the following thoughts:

• Prepare your heart. Get everything set up a few minutes early so that you can prepare your heart to worship through expectant prayer. Be thankful for the brothers and sisters that came together this past week to pull off four online worship services and praise God for the privilege to be able to worship.
• Prepare the physical space: clear away any clutter or distractions.
• Prepare your device: if you are joining the service on your computer, turn off notifications. If you are joining in on your mobile device, activate “do not disturb.” Don’t let a stray text message interrupt or take away from your worshiping the Lord with other brothers and sisters.
• Worship is about engagement, not entertainment. Worship at home however you would worship at the physical church.
• Have your Bible ready, along with something to take notes. Bring a humble heart eager to hear from the Lord.
• We will have time to worship the Lord through offering and the giving of our gifts. If you have not set up online giving, consider doing so as the Spirit leads.
• Come together with your household. If there are others in your household who plan to join in for worship, consider coming together to worship in front of the same screen. Get ready to praise God, hear God’s word, and experience the Holy Spirit together.
