Merry Christmas from the churches and pastors of Fillmore County. Joy to the World, the Savior is born!

Join us!

WE WILL NEVER FORGET: Those of us in our mid 20s and older will always remember where we were 20 years ago today. Thank you to all the heroes who run towards danger instead of away from it, and those who lend a hand to others who stumble. Thanks to all who put on a uniform in service to others. Thank you especially today to our first responders, Scout Troop 175 and speakers for the meaningful observance this morning. You are all blessings to us!

About two dozen prayed the Stations of the Cross through Geneva on Good Friday. Thanks to Pastor Jeff Jensen for switching up the litany to a digital format so we didn’t have programs blowing all over town. It was a meaningful journey as we contemplated Christ’s suffering and prayed for our neighbors. And now we wait...

NATIONAL DAY OF MOURNING AND LAMENT - Please be in prayer today for the 106,000 plus and 372,000 plus who have died from covid in the USA and world, respectively. Also let us pray for true justice in our land so we might find peace and understanding.

Economically impacted by the pandemic? Have you become unemployed/under-employed? Is your business hurting? Thanks to the generosity of our county churches and others, we can help you. Please call 759-2545 and leave a message. All requests are confidential. (There are some restrictions and limits.)

Thursday, May 7, is National Day of Prayer. We invite you to be in prayer at 9 a.m., 6 p.m., and 9 p.m. in unison with folks in the other three time zones. We all know about the power of prayer; so let's get Fillmore County praying together!

You'll find a prayer from the National Day of Prayer website below that is specifically about the coronavirus, if you wish to use it. Feel free to modify it if you wish. It was written by Kathy Branzell, president of the NDOP task force.

Heavenly Father, we turn to You in prayer not panic in response to this pandemic. We praise You as our Almighty Creator and Sustainer. You are the author of our days, our refuge and strength.

Lord, we humbly ask that You push back and remove this virus from us; glorify Yourself in this national and global emergency. We cry out to You in unified prayer:

For those who have suffered loss of family and friends from this virus. Please comfort them.

For those who are currently sick we ask that You heal them.

For those who are filled with fear and anxiety in the uncertainty of what to do, or in isolation of quarantine, we ask that You be their courage and that they would acknowledge Your presence. Thank You for being our God who never leaves or forsakes us.

For those who are not able to go to work and earn a paycheck we ask that You provide for their needs. Please connect them with services who are providing food and other resources at this time.

For those who are researching and responding to the pandemic we ask that You pour out Your wisdom, knowledge and understanding in them and through them. Please incline our ears to truth and give us steadfast hearts as our confidence is in You. Give us discernment to divide rumors from reality, help us to make wise decisions and listen to good information.

For all hospital and nursing home staff, doctors, nurses, lab technicians, first responders, military personnel, and everyone who is at risk to exposure as they serve and care for those who are or may have been infected. Please protect them and give them and their families peace as they serve. Help them to keep patients calm as they work and walk in faith in You.

Lord, help us always to respond with Your love to our neighbors. Prompt us to check on those near and dear to us as well as neighbors we might not have met yet who may need our help. Help us to remember those around us who are most vulnerable to this virus and to help them by bringing them groceries or other things that will help keep them from exposure.

For those who are making decisions about closures and cancellations we ask that You guide them to consider what is best for people not profit. Lord that they will trust You and make the safest decision for the population they serve, teach, entertain, and employ. Continue to pour out Your creativity on us in the methods of staying connected and productive through technology.

We pray that this unprecedented time in our generation would be used to draw nearer to You and our families. Turn our attention to the many times we have thought or said, “we don’t have enough time to ________.” Help us to use this time to rightly reset and prioritize our relationship with You and our family. Let us draw near to You in faith as our Father and our fortress.

Deliver us from this disease we pray and let Your glory fill the earth as You respond to our prayers. Amen.
