Awesome conversation!!! Thank you all so much for putting this out as we are all wrestling with how to best steward God's church and reach God's people in the midst of this pandemic! Much Love to the ENTIRE Evans Family!!! May the Lord continue to bless you, keep you, let His face shine upon you and be gracious to you!!!
I'm not a pastors wife but I find this very interesting! I'm a person that has been attempting to get back into going to church in person. It was difficult getting myself to go out and be around a group of people other than family members. I finally put my mind to it and went for 3 weeks and was looking forward to the beginning of the year conference at church than got Covid the week before. It's hard for me again because I had all 3 vaccines, I wore a mask in public and didn't go out much but still got it again. I'm back to being anxious and hesitant about being in public again. I thank God and my church for virtual service but I know that I have a need for Christian community and to be there in person. Its not the same watching a service at home and being there. I see and feel the difference in myself.
Praying God meet your needs and bring all of us through this pandemic and back into some semblance of worship and church the way it was before the pandemic!!!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
For the Widow woman who husband had passed away and "No one" reached out to her. And she's been out of church since 2018. First of all, I believe her because the Church has become so self centered and self involved that they left off showing love towards hurting people. The Best way to approach a person who has experience it first hand is to say, "I'm sorry that you experience that during your time of bereavement." The pain is real. Then reaffirm what she means to GOD. And suggest that how can she help Change that from every happening to other's. Maybe, start a group of Christian believer's that are widow's and widower's to support each other as well as reach out to them who may be going through a tough time with the loss of a spouse. You don't bury something that hurt's by telling them or suggesting that what they are feeling is not based on TRUTH or reality. You join in by coming along side and say, okay I get it and I'm deeply sorry that you had to experience that all alone. But I believe GOD wastes no tears and wastes no one's pain. And with that said, have you thought about helping someone else who might be going through the same thing?
This was a great and much needed conversation! God bless each one of you
