                        IMPORTANT NOTICE

                  As a cautionary response to the Coronavirus…

               the Fellowship Club decided to cancel this year’s:       

                          Easter Breakfast                                       

   Our monthly Coffee-Break Fellowships have also been suspended   

                          for the duration of this health crisis.  

  For awhile…there is a “new normal” in our lives...

                      to which we need to adapt.

   Back in 1527, a deadly plague hit Martin Luther’s town of Wittenberg    and he wrote a letter to a friend...offering us some advice for today.

“I shall ask God mercifully to protect us. Then I shall fumigate, help purify the air, administer medicine and take it. I shall avoid places and persons where my presence is not needed in order not to become contaminated and thus perchance inflict and pollute others and so cause their death as a result of my negligence. If God should wish to take me, he will surely find me and I have done what he has expected of me and so I am not responsible for either my own death or the death of others. If my neighbor needs me however I shall not avoid place or person but will go freely as stated above. See this is such a God-fearing faith because it is neither brash nor foolhardy and does not tempt God.”
