April 2 2020 Update

Continued thanks to everyone continuing to participate in our weekly online service

It’s been a while so I thought I would give everyone a few updates for the week.

 
Pastor Rod is continuing to get his radiation and chemo treatments done every week day at Providence in Everett. Here is an update from Kathy from a few minutes ago while she waits for him at his appointment.
He’s having his 13th treatment today out of an expected 33. Chemo and radiation are zapping his energy (as expected) but he’s doing well otherwise. We had a virtual visit from his doctor’s staff yesterday and she said his bloodwork looks good. We miss everybody but are thankful for all who are taking care of the church family and have been so blessed by everyone’s care and concern and prayers.
 
Continue to keep Pastor Greg and Emily in your prayers, and also Pastor Rod and Kathy. I know for both of them that the need to connect with people is important to them and our current situation makes that personal connection tough to do for everyone.
Pastor Greg will be putting out things from time to time on Facebook and when he does I’ll re-post on our site and email for those that don’t use Facebook.
Here’s yesterday’s video. https://youtu.be/6v-zzL_ENAU
 
We are working on a plan to get groups of 5-7 people from our church to come together as “adopted families” so no one falls through the cracks and gets missed from week to week. We’ll be sending out the info on that, hopefully tomorrow. I also plan to try to update the directory so everyone has up to date info. I’ll be contacting people next week to get their info included.
