COVID-19 Community Response

1. Pray

… because it is the most important thing we can do!

• Pray for our community and those directly affected by COVID-19.
• Pray for the healthcare workers, political leaders, and public health administrators making difficult decisions.
• Pray for those who are being financially impacted.

2. Remember

… we are not a people driven by fear. We have been given power, love, and the ability to think calmly and act clearly.

• Be mindful of those who struggle with depression or are prone to anxiety. Reach out and bring them food or needed items, or just share an encouraging word.

3. Act

… be the hands and feet of Jesus. During this time, we strongly encourage everyone to follow provincial and local guidance and the guidelines set by the BC Health authorities.

• Grocery shop for an elderly neighbour or friend with compromised immunity.
• Offer to watch a neighbour’s children if they are still required to work.

4. Give

… be generous, especially to those whose livelihoods have been impacted. As events are canceled and social distancing is encouraged, the financial impact may become overwhelming.

• • Think of someone in your circle who may be struggling and pay a utility bill for them, buy their groceries, or find another way to help.
  • Give. It is through the generosity of our community, especially during this season when we cannot gather together in person, that we are able to continue to serve our cities and our world
