We are entering our 2275th game of solitaire. Yikes. There are many amazing stories all around us. Just today two people texted me and asked me to give their stimulus checks to someone who really needs it. I am amazed. I have asked ministry team leaders to share their victory stories over the next few weeks, so you will be hearing about some great work being carried out here at Wesley. Along with live streaming our worship services on Sundays, I have started a live stream Bible Study on Tuesday mornings at 7:30 am. It is recorded, so you can watch it later in the week.
|
I am also trying to text everyone to check in and so that everyone has my cell number. So you can text me with any news, any time. 813-352-3204. Be sure to watch our livestream worship 11 am on Sunday on either facebook or the website. Incidentally, there are two Wesley facebook pages, so be sure to go to the new one. And be sure to share the worship and invite others to attend. I have gotten word that my nieces and nephews all around the country have been watching, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Virginia and more. I had no idea it would be this powerful. This week I will be chatting with Jennifer Foster about some of the great things Bridges is doing.

We all miss the social interaction with each other but realize the importance of social distancing and being safe, healthy, and responsible.
