Dear beloved members of Svea Lutheran Church,
In following the recommendations of Kandiyohi county public health, our church council has decided to suspend worship and other activities for the week of March 15th. I will still be available for pastoral care and visitation upon request. Your council is working diligently to keep aware of the latest information and recommendations from state and county authorities concerning social and religious gatherings.
We will be streaming portions of the Sunday service at 10:00 a.m. on our Facebook page and have a pre-recorded sermon on our website as we are able to provide. We will update the congregation with further developments as the week progresses. The council will still meet as planned this Thursday at 7:30.
As your pastor I will continue to pray for your well being and quick resolution to this pandemic. I encourage you to pray as well for the health of your neighbors and a speedy rescue from this affliction.
It is our Christian vocation and human nature to seek out community and care for one another through interaction. In this season we will need to be ever more creative in our practice of communal worship and community building.
I close with words from Paul the Apostle in his letter to the Romans :Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words. And God, who searches the heart, knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. Romans 8:26-27
God’s peace be with you this day and always,
Pastor Erik G. Rundquist
