Four Weeks: A COVID19 Growth Curve

Wk 1
Fear
Shock
Trauma
Adaptation
Live Stream Church
This is unreal, unnerving
This cannot be what is needed
How can I work around this, work harder?

Wk 2
Home
Isolation
Kids out of school
Technology is a gift
Live Stream Church better
This requires a lot of work, more work
How do we resource others, and quickly
How much is what we are doing making a difference?

Wk 3
Prayer and pastoral care
Inundated with information
Battling grief, lament, unknown
Resetting, reassigning, realigning, reaffirming
Loss, Loss, Loss, Loss, Loss, Loss, Loss, Loss, Loss
All of life is online, but focusing on what really brings life
Accept that this is not a sprint, but a marathon, always look out ahead
How is God working in long days and short weeks, cycles of death and of life?

Wk 4
More prayer, more care
Shifting, prioritizing, resting
Emotional needs cycle, seeking slow
Reaching out to community in new ways
Creativity and innovation help heal some wounds
Refining time, more prayer, anxiety cycles through communities
Loss, loss, loss, joy, news breaks… loss, loss, loss, joy, eyes on the horizon….
How do I shift my posture, for the long haul, to grieve, to fight for life, to lead, to love
God is with us, God is for us, in the midst of, in the midst of, in the midst of, in the midst of….
