This Week's Plan at Christ Reformed Church (April 27-May 3)

Week Eight of the Covid-19 Exile

At the direction of the Governor of California, the County of Orange, and City of Anaheim, and in light of the CDC's recommendation to avoid groups and assemblies, and the on-going need for social distancing, all Lord's Day services and classes are cancelled for Sunday, May 3 and 10.

We are continuing our series on Romans and will take up Paul's discussion of "Peace with God" in Romans 5:1-11.

Until our worship services resume, please continue to pray that the spread of the Covid-19 virus is contained by staying at home, social distancing, and the regular washing of hands.  Pray for your fellow church members.  Be sure to check-up on your neighbors who may be in need.  More importantly, may Jesus Christ be glorified in all that we say and do during this unprecedented public health crisis.

The Changes Brought by Covid-19

I now preach to an empty sanctuary--strange.  Thanks, by the way, to Steve Ornee for all of his hard work in putting our weekly Lord's Day video together.

I get to hear Rev. Lenzner sing the doxology -- solo.

I get to wear what I want under my robe

I get to watch myself preach on Sunday morning from my recliner with my good buddy, Charley.
