Love your Neighbor
There are numerous ways that we can be supporting each other in this time. The phone is our friend as we check up on friends and neighbors. We can also mail cards and drawings (enlist the help of your children for this) to shut-ins. Please also consider those that you know who may need food and prescriptions delivered to their doorstep. Use your own creativity! The needs are nearly endless. God uses each and everyone of us to show love to our neighbors!
