Goshen Family,

It is no secret that this is a new and unusual time that we are all in. We are adjusting to new

schedules, adjusting to being home, learning to homeschool, finding new ways to connect

to friends and family members, praying endless prayers, wondering about job security,

worrying about friends and families who are sick, recovering, or are essential workers and are

on the front lines, learning how to grocery shop differently. The list of these “new” ways we’re

learning is endless. We have all experienced fear, worry, stress and anxiety at some point

during this quarantine. We have all felt the comfort and peace in trusting in the Lord. We

have all enjoyed the break from the hustle bustle that was the old “normal”. We have

enjoyed slowing down and spending extra time with family. This time of quarantine is new,

overwhelming, tiring, and refreshing. It’s a mix of emotions that we’re all learning to process.

But one thing that is the same, is that we’re all in this together. Our situations may be different

from one another but we are not alone in this.

We’re all in this together I have reached out to you all asking four questions. 1. What is your favorite family recipe? 2.

What is your favorite worship song? 3. What is a verse that you’ve found encouragement in?

4. What is something “fun” that has come out of this (activity, game, pastime, etc.)? I have

loved reading all of your responses and have been encouraged by them, as well as looking

forward to trying out the recipes you’ve shared. Take time to try each other’s recipes, listen

to some new worship songs (or some old time favorites), and connect with one another.

Share your experiences, what you’ve enjoyed doing, what you’ve found encouragement in,

or even share what your struggling with. Lets continue to build up our community and church

family. Can’t wait to gather with you all again soon. Enjoy.
