We remain deeply connected even while we maintain a proper physical and social distance. We need to share news with one another. We long to know what is going on in each other\u2019s lives. And we need a safe way to share our\u00a0joys\u00a0and\u00a0concerns. For now, our safe way\u00a0will be for you to share your\u00a0joy\u00a0or\u00a0concern\u00a0with Gary (text to 651-387-4095 or email\u00a0gary@peaceumc.com) and also indicate your permission if you want him to share your news in Sunday worship, and\/or with the Prayer Chain (about 25 people), and\/or via the full Peace email group (about 175 people).
