๐Ÿ™Œ Ps Matt's message reminded us to CONNECT with GOD & CARE for SELF in seasons of loneliness.

How will we apply the Word this week?

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ Check out a fun video of our TNG Worship Ministry folks encouraging us to care for self - let's run with them! cefc.ch/running

โค๏ธ Attending to loneliness could mean caring for both self & others! Here's an inspiring testimony from a Covenanter living away from home: cefc.ch/care-loneliness

Finally, let's take time to connect with God in prayer!

โ€œA Christianโ€™s freedom from anxiety is not due to some guaranteed freedom from trouble, but to the folly of worry and especially to the confidence that God is our Father, that even permitted suffering is within the orbit of His care.โ€ โ€“ John Stott

๐Ÿคฏ Has anxiety crept in as you face uncertainties? Has it been difficult to find rest?

๐Ÿ’Œ The Lord desires to speak to you in this new season post-Circuit Breaker! Join us this Sunday as SP Tony Yeo helps us dive into God's Word to find rest in the midst of anxiety. Invite your F.R.A.N.S. and come expectant to encounter the Lord!

Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom.
One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts.
They speak of the glorious splendor of your majestyโ€”
and I will meditate on your wonderful works.
They tell of the power of your awesome worksโ€” and I will proclaim your great deeds.
They celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness.
