By His Grace, We Are Spared

By His Grace We Are Spared Meadows Baptist Church

Dear MBC Church Family,

 

If we only knew the extent of the unseen dangers from which God saves us each day…  One of our members recently shared with the daily prayer team how God had protected her from becoming infected with the coronavirus.  A relative and friend whom she had not seen in a while had wanted to stop by her house for dinner on their travel through the area.  But by coincidence (actually divine providence), she had another appointment at the same time and could not host them, a real disappointment.  However, shortly afterwards, the friend complained of shortness of breath, was hospitalized and tested positive for COVID.  Our member would have certainly been exposed to the virus and more than likely become infected.  She praises God, for only by His grace was she spared.  God’s word is true: “Neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling” (Psalm 91). And not a worry about contracting the virus, either.

 

God has been so faithful to us.  Let’s continue to invite our family and friends to join us remotely for service by Skype: https://join.skype.com/P8TRBZjej8aU or by conference call: (339) 209-5068.

 

  • Sunday morning Worship Service (11:30am)

  • Monday through Saturday Noontime Prayer (12:00pm-1:00pm)

 

Anyone who chooses to make a contribution to the church may use the link on the church’s website, www.MeadowsBaptistChurch.org, to process a credit/debit card donation.  Contributions may also be mailed to the church at PO Box 488, Upper Marlboro, MD 20773 or dropped off at the church office.

 

Feel free to stop by the church for special prayer during the noontime hour, or stop by anytime to meditate and pray outside the church in the newly created Prayer Garden.

 

God bless and keep you and your family.
