Unsurprisingly, the Corona virus is dominating headlines and conversations at the moment. I hope you’re managing to walk the line between taking the concerns seriously, whilst not becoming unduly anxious.
It’s all too easy to become pre-occupied with our own affairs in these circumstances. It’s good that churches deliberate over matters such as the best way to administer Communion, but let’s be honest, there are bigger issues: keeping foodbanks stocked, how people will manage childcare in the event of closure, food for kids who have free school dinners, care for the most vulnerable…
Our local foodbanks have already put out a plea for help, indicating a 30% drop in incoming supplies, at a time when demand is anticipated to increase (please see inside for details of the goods they would like). The coming weeks will present a moment when we can show people what ‘Christian concern’ can really look like. God Bless.
