GRACE & PEACE FOR YOU
GRACE & PEACE FOR YOU
About Grace and Peace for You:
Sources of Hope in a Time of Fear
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 1:2
The purpose of this page is not to provide up-to-date information about the Coronavirus from scientists, government officials, or news media - you can easily get that elsewhere. The purpose of this page is to offer you information and reminders about sources of hope if you're anxious, grace if you're afraid, and faith if you're uncertain.
God bless us, everyone!For more ministry resources, go to the SELC District Ministerial Care page here
