This was the first week of Keystone UCC's Online worship, where we are learning about how to gather together even when we have to be physically apart. Keystone UCC was one of the first churches in Seattle to choose to suspend in-person worship services during the Covid-19 outbreak as we join our efforts to #flattenthecurve with others in our communities. We do this not out of fear, but out of love and solidarity with those who are most vulnerable in our communities. We have a long tradition of this in our faith, that even in the beginning, the followers of Jesus were faced with situations of great turmoil and difficult and deadly choices, and they knew that by living out the love that God had shown them with one another, and by living in ways that protected the most vulnerable, we would make it together. Our Progressive Christian practices and beliefs keep us on this path of love that conquers fear.
Scripture: Philippians 4:6-7
