“This deadly pandemic is real & does not discriminate.
“These difficult, challenging & anxious times will test our faith & resolve, but we must remember that in God lies the solution to all our worries.
“As we work together to beat this deadly virus, let us remain strong & resolute in our belief that God is still on the throne.
“As Christians celebrate the Crucifixion & rise of our lord Jesus Christ, with hearts filled with love, peace, humility & forgiveness; no matter the challenges of today, in the spirit of Easter, I appeal that we make the necessary sacrifices that will keep us safe & secure our tomorrow.
*OBEY HEALTH ADVISORIES
*BELIEVE IN GOD, THAT THIS TOO SHALL PASS.
I wish you a blessed & meaningful Easter.”
