A Word from the President
| September 25, 2020 Dear Sisters and Brothers in the CNH District, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge HIM and he will direct your paths.” (Proverbs 3) “Lean not on your own understanding …” That is a key phrase for all of us in this time of perceived and real separation from one another. One of the profound hurts for so many people during our present time is isolation. One of my greatest concerns for all of you as President of the churches and schools of the California – Nevada – Hawaii District is that you are not entrapped in the despair that often comes when the primary if not only counsel (understanding) that we lean on is our own. We were made for community as the body of Christ. The community under Christ’s headship, whether in person or virtually, views itself and its work through the “mind of Christ.” Each part of the body finds its precious identity under the redeeming power of Christ. We don’t want you to be without resources and connections ever, but especially during this time.
