Heavenly Father, thank you for the opportunity that we have to keep meeting together despite having to be distant from each other. May these times in your word with each other be a great encouragement for us. Help us to be reminded of your goodness and mercy that we receive through Christ. Fill us with the joy that comes through the gospel and help us fix our eyes on the hope that we have in Christ. May we be encouraged as we join with Townsville this afternoon for their Easter service. Help us to care for each other in new ways as we figure out what life looks like in isolation. Please help our students to keep getting their coursework done despite the distractions that come from working at home.
Amen.
