We can continue to "be" the church, especially so in these times. We will continue to trust God, for nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus.

The Virginia Mennonite Conference Congregational Life Commission is sponsoring three one-hour Zoom seminars in September and October in support of parents and teachers who are managing virtual learning. These small group interactive seminars are capped at 20 persons. Each seminar is $10. Register and learn more at https://virginiaconference.org/events/
 

•  Frazzled: Parents, Employees, and Now Teachers with Kate Corder, Licensed Professional Counselor, FLRC. (September 30 | 7:00 pm)
  
• In this time of COVID-19, parents are wrestling with confusing and frustrating roles of being good parents (seeing to the safety of their children and responsibility for their growth), achieving goals and being productive in their work organizations, and now needing to manage the education of their children in the home as many schools have gone to virtual learning. Such a “balancing act” is required, with limited time and so much responsibility. Parents who are not trained as teachers are now providing significant educational support for perhaps several children while facing the expectations of work. Many parents feel frazzled and overwhelmed by not knowing what is best and living into an uncertain future. On top of this, Seasonal Adjustment Disorder, beginning in September and October, can make changes and pressures even more difficult. Parents, you are not alone on this journey! This seminar will help you understand the emotions of being overwhelmed and equip you with easy and important coping tools to help when you are overwhelmed. These are not complicated or hard to remember, and only take a few minutes. We will also have some time for sharing our feelings and experiences.
  
  
• Supporting Teachers Through Change with Matthew Swartzentruber, Licensed Professional Counselor, FLRC. (October 7 | 7:00 pm)  Teachers face unique challenges with virtual learning. There are new expectations, new class schedules, new technologies, new ways of assigning and grading work, new processes for assisting and supporting students. Some teachers are doing all-online instruction, some are in hybrid models. How do you cope with so many new things? How can you thrive in an untested environment? The goal of this seminar will support teachers by bringing them together in a small virtual group, encouraging reflections and sharing together, and generating helpful ideas for self-care, resourcing, and networking.

 
The SOS Walk for MCC Refugee Relief brought in over $15,000, a good start toward this year's Relief Sale meeting or exceeding last year's total in spite of COVID! The next SOS Initiative is to encourage caring individuals to form "$1000 Clubs," in which families, youth groups, church cell groups, co-workers or any group of friends join together to raise $1000 (or more!) between now and the October 3 Sale date. Checks with SOS on the memo line should be made out to Virginia Mennonite Relief Sale and can be sent to 601 Parkwood Drive, Harrisonburg, VA 22802. This is an opportunity to show our compassion at a time when so many of our world neighbors are in unimaginably desperate need.
 
There are many changes in the MCC Virginia Relief Sale this year. Check out vareliefsale.com for details.

Lyrics for Sunday Worship
Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)
Verse 1
You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep my faith will stand
 
Chorus 1
And I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine
 
Verse 2
Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sov'reign hand will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You've never failed and You won't start now
 
Interlude
Oh and You are mine oh
 
Bridge
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Saviour
 
Interlude
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh Jesus yeah my God
 
Chorus 2
I will call upon Your name
Keep my eyes above the waves
My soul will rest in Your embrace
I am Yours and You are mine
