Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
The sobering news over the past few days of the Russian invasion of Ukraine is both reason for consternation and a call to prayer. While we have a Kingdom-oriented, Christ-centred view of the transitory events of this age and in this world, our hearts nonetheless go out not only for the private citizens in Ukraine, but also more specifically for our brethren there and the perils they may have to face.
The Federation of the Churches of God in Ukraine have requested our prayers. The Ukraine government is ordering a military conscription of men from the ages 18 to 60, and this in some ways will affect the members of the Churches of God throughout Kiev, Alexandria, Chernivtsi, Torun, Szczecin, Transcarpathia, Lugansk, Donetsk and Dniper.
Please share this letter throughout your conference and among our local churches, as we collectively join in concerted prayer. Be comforted by Jesus’ words. In times of war and impending war, he simply said, “Don’t be alarmed.” Furthermore, Jesus reminded us of his transcendent reality where he wants us to be. He said, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” (John 14:27 NKJV)
May we, understanding the times in which we live, pray for our brothers and sisters in Ukraine as if our lives depended on it.
In Christ, on behalf of the International Ministerial Congress of the Church of God (Seventh Day),
We're planning on facilitating up to seven worship services in the 24 hour period of 6 November 2021, and this list will soon be available on this website.
The theme this year is "Continuing the Mission of Jesus", and each Sabbath worship service will be designed around exploring this theme. What was the "mission of Jesus"? What are the elements of mission we must embrace? We hope and pray that our collective celebration around the world is a blessing to all.
See our growing list of available livestreaming services around the world. Because of the current COVID-19 restrictions and quarantine requirements experienced in most countries, we are now listing church fellowships who are regularly livestreaming Sabbath worship services.
Is your local church livestreaming Sabbath worship services?
List your church's livestreaming service here so that others experiencing social isolation in the current COVID-19 crisis may be able to easily find your service.
