Joy, Peace, Contentment... & Corona Quarantine?!

Sunday's worship service from Refuge LB in Philippians 4:
Hello TTW Family - Pastor Kris here. Anybody else out there need a little encouragement to help get through the quarantine? We're not on total lockdown just yet here in So Cal, but there's a whole lot shut down. With Sunday services here all moving online for the near future, we will be posting services from my home church (Refuge Long Beach), along with links to find services from all of our TTW teachers. Above is last Sunday's service, which we recorded at my home. We're led in worship by my (newly married!) daughter Daisy Short - home from college like many students across the country. And I opened up Philippians 4 to find some joy, peace, and contentment - and hopefully cure this cabin fever!

We had a few tech difficulties - sorry for that. The audio is so-so because I had to switch the set up last moment. Plus I can't figure out how to change the cover photo above (which is why we both have our eyes closed for prayer!). You'll also get a couple guest appearances from our dogs, George McDuff and Luigi, who decided to join the crew - and we'll step up up tech game before next week! I also posted links below for weekend services with all of our TTW teachers.

Also for your listening enjoyment...

  1. I am very sorry that this virus is closing churches but I am also happy cause I have no car don't live anywhere near a bus and I am disabled so I can go to church tomorrow and I love your app and I am hoping when this tragedy ends soon that churches may continue to do online services as their are many like me and we can still tithes by mail or online. It would be a great way to bring in more people. Thanks
