Bible Study (Sabbath
School) runs from 9:30 to
10:30, and the main worship
service starts at 11, with both
online and in-person options.
However, during this cur
rent wave we feel we have a
duty to warn those in at-risk
groups and those living with
someone in an at-risk group
to consider joining us via
video conference rather than
in-person. At-risk groups in
clude those aged 60 and up
ward and those with
underlying health conditions.
We’ve worked to make
the worship service more
convenient for those who
need to attend remotely so
that everyone can interact
during Sabbath School and
the prayer request time dur
ing the main services regard
less of how they attend.
Someone even taught Sab
bath School while attending
remotely and successfully in
teracted with participants and
church. Microphones have
been placed in different
places in sanctuary so that
the online participants can
hear.
We are additionally setup
to allow online participants
to dialog with those with
those in the sanctuary.
Our prayer meeting con
tinues to be exclusively on
line, at 7 p.m. every
Wednesday.
We urge anyone interested
in the Bible - whether you at
tend church or not - to con
tact us for free interactive
video Bible Studies. Our
church would also love the
opportunity to pray for any
requests that you have. We
continue to run our food
pantry from 1-2 p.m. every
Wednesday at the church.
And of course, we are very
interested in hearing from
you about ways we can better
serve our community.
To contact us for more in
formation about joining us
remotely, or anything else,

Robustness
and
Resiliency
There are two ways to enhance our chances of
survival: robustness and resiliency. Robustness is
a measure of how much damage can be done to
an organism and it will still function. Plants are
robust because they can lose their leaves and the
majority of their limbs and yet survive.
Resiliency refers to the ability of an organism to
adapt to changing circumstances. A tropical plant
may be robust, but it won't survive in a harsh
environment such as a desert. Human beings are
hardy because we combine robustness with
resiliency. We are robust insofar as we can
survive without our teeth, could lose a few limbs,
and some of our vital organs are paired, such as
the kidneys and lungs, allowing us to survive
with just one of them. Though not as robust as
plants, we are more resilient, since we adapt well
to change, as evidenced by our living in virtually
every environment on the planet. Religion is one
of the tools that help us to adapt. The Bible is full
of advice on how to get along under trying
circumstances. The early Israelites were enslaved
in Egypt and then had to survive in the desert,
and even once they were established as a nation,
they were surrounded by hostile neighbors. This
remains true for them today, and there is a lesson
here on the value of resiliency and robustness.
Increase your robustness by staying healthy and
increase your resiliency by being adaptive.
- Christopher Simon
Teach them his decrees and
instructions, and show them the
way they are to live and how
they are to behave.
