And wow, what a powerful time of prayer and worship. And I can imagine in my mind perhaps that

you might watch this service over and over again. We're going to keep it playing on demand for you

to share with your friends. And let's just keep the hope and the confidence. Now, it's a little

strange speaking to an empty room. I have a few people here, but I'm going to do the

best I can to imagine this room filled with people, but I do have a message that I want to share

with you, and it's really in two parts today. And the first is I wanted to talk just for a few moments

about our response. Like, what is Highlands doing in the middle of all this? Because honestly,

it's a whole lot more than whether we have a church service or not. We are, our church is not

a service. Our church has a service. This is the, this is really one small part of who we are as a

church. And we are working tirelessly right now in more meetings than you can possibly imagine

with our teams and with local health officials and man we've been meeting with our mayors and

our city officials and we are we are working hard to not only continue as a church in every way

we can but also to serve our communities in every way we can.

So stay tuned to our social media platforms. Be sure you're checking our website.

This thing is changing day by day, and our response is really coming day by day.

So stay tuned. And hopefully sometime in the middle of week, I'll even

have another message for you just to tell you where we are. And we're going to take this thing

week by week. But there's three things I do want us to do. And the first thing is, I want us to give

hope. Can I ask you that, first of all, I want you to receive it, but also want you to give it. So today, you've

got to get it. If you don't have it, well, then you're on the receiving end of this directive.

But if you have hope, listen to me, our city needs us right now. And the people around us need

us right now. And people are discouraged. They think the sky is falling. and this is serious. Make no mistake about it.
