What's the Good Word?
Psalm 55:6 “Oh that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest; yes, I would wander far away; I would lodge in the wilderness; I would hurry to find a shelter from the raging wind and tempest.”
Anyone ever feel like flying the coop? This Psalm, for sure, speaks my human heart’s cry when life gets heavy, or scary, or hard. I am prone to wander, to seek shelter in my ‘lodge in the wilderness” otherwise affectionately known as my “cave”. When life is pressing in or I have been wounded, when I fall short or God feels far from my daily life, I often sense, “my cave is calling and I must go.” What happens in this proverbial cave? well, a whole lotta searching and assessing, a little licking of my wounds, a ton of Psalm 139:23-24ing (“Search me O God and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”), and hopefully… restorative healing. But for sure, as I process and seek to emerge, I admonish myself to read on and trust the words further into Psalm 55…”But I call to God, and the Lord will save me. Evening and morning and at noon I utter my complaint and moan, and HE HEARS MY VOICE. HE REDEEMS MY SOUL IN SAFETY FROM THE BATTLE THAT I WAGE…” (verses 16-18). Whatever battlefield you are on right now, take the time to look inward and Upward, read on, and trust! He hears you, friend!

Orange County Contact Tracer Volunteers Needed
One of seven metrics used in determining regional opening is the number of trained and available Contact Tracers. The Hudson Valley has been informed we need 300 due to the population of the Mid-Hudson Valley Region which Orange County falls in. The role of a Contract Tracer will involve calling people throughout Orange County who may have had contact with a COVID-19 positive individual and collecting/entering data with respect to their whereabouts and individuals they may have contacted. To be a Contact Tracer, NYS requires the completion of an online training and certification program that requires a quick online exam. Volunteers will need to take a free course from John Hopkins University. The application shows a fee of $49 but there will be no cost at checkout. If you are interested, please contact the Deputy Commissioner of Health, Mike Ventre, at mventre@orangecountygov.com.

Little Things to Make a Big Impact
In times we feel powerless, we must remember that we have been empowered to bless others from the heart. Here are a few safe opportunities to bring joy to someone’s day.
- Have your children draw pictures or thank you notes to give to those still working in the community…
- gas station attendants
- coffee shop workers
- doctor’s office workers
- veterinarians
- auto repair shops
- Stash a few dollars in different areas of the local dollar store with a note.
- Take a family hike. Leave a jar of fresh-picked flowers on a person’s porch.
- Send letters or pictures to a nursing home for the residents there.
- Pay for or give something toward the person’s meal behind you in the drive-thru lane.
- Have a pizza or food delivered to a struggling family in your neighborhood.
- Send diaper, formula, or other baby-related coupons to those with new babies.

Share this link: https://donate.nybc.org/donor/schedules/centers with anyone that wants to find a donor center to donate.

Little Things to Make a Big Impact
In times we feel powerless, we must remember that we have been empowered to bless others from the heart. Here are a few safe opportunities to bring joy to someone’s day.
- Have your children draw pictures or thank you notes to give to those still working in the community…
- gas station attendants
- coffee shop workers
- doctor’s office workers
- veterinarians
- auto repair shops
- Stash a few dollars in different areas of the local dollar store with a note.
- Take a family hike. Leave a jar of fresh-picked flowers on a person’s porch.
- Send letters or pictures to a nursing home for the residents there.
- Pay for or give something toward the person’s meal behind you in the drive thru lane.
- Have a pizza or food delivered to struggling family in your neighborhood.
- Send diaper, formula, or other baby-related coupons to those with new babies.
GraceOC Give Help/Get Help
Grace has a facebook group to make connections between those able to offer help and those in need of help as we navigate through these difficult times. If you can offer help (either virtual or other), or if you have a need, click “more information” below. So many people have been connecting to love each other. Head to the Facebook group GraceOC Give Help/Get Help.
Blood Donations Needed-URGENT
Donating blood makes a big difference in the lives of others and possibly the life of someone close to us. Due to the coronavirus outbreak there is a critical need for blood. Please consider being part of this effort, joining together as one body and reaching Orange County and beyond by possibly saving one life at a time.
Share this link: https://donate.nybc.org/donor/schedules/centers with anyone that wants to find a donor center to donate.
Be on the lookout for a blood drive coming to Grace Middletown this summer. We will need one or two people to head this up, and we will need a minimum of 60 donors to make this drive successful! Email middletown@graceoc.com if interested.

What's the Good Word??
How about this?… Isaiah 26:3-4 “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.”
Sure is easy nowadays to fixate on all things COVID related! The physical devastation, the financial mayhem, the emotional stress, the isolation. These are very real! VERY!!! Everyone in our Grace Middletown Family is facing at least one, if not ALL, of the above! Let’s purpose together, through this time, to pray for each other to shift our thinking and keep our minds fixed on God, the everlasting rock! He is a fortress of sure footing, a rock that won’t crumble! He is not surprised by this virus. He is able, willing, and sovereign to walk us through this! Let’s declare victory over our thoughts together, today! If you need an extra dose of encouragement by way of prayer support, please reach out! Please click here and check the box that says, “Please pray for me”. We are here for you!

COVID-19 Update from Pastor Jeff
Hey Grace Middletown!
I know we are currently in a season of uncertainty, however as a campus we are not slowing down! Changing routines a bit? Yes, but not slowing down. As you most likely are aware by now our physical location (as well as all Grace Community Church locations) are closed until at least March 28th. Yet we are continuing to love deep and wide. Here is what I am asking: continue to engage digitally. Stream the services, interact with your Teammates and Team leader(s). Some of which will even be offering digital opportunities to connect. Also let’s all be looking for specific ways that we can love people who are in in need. Please be sure to utilize the link: www.graceoc.com/covid. This is where you can find updated information, ask for assistance for yourself or others, as well as stay connected. Know that I am praying for you often, and already looking forward with great anticipation to being together in person soon. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you need anything! Until then, let’s stay close to Jesus!
-Pastor Jeff Harrison
