CHRIST IS RISEN, HE IS RISEN INDEED!
We begin these days after our Easter celebration with joy in the season, and gratitude for the Risen Christ in our lives. We enjoy this springtime and are grateful for the beauty that surrounds us.
You are invited to join us on Sunday morning, as we worship our Lord at 9am every week on the land. God has blessed this time as a church family. God has blessed us with the property so that we can worship in a safe environment during the pandemic. We give thanks for the privilege of our worship together both in person and live streamed.
As we look ahead, we thank you and encourage your continued giving to both the ministry and the building fund. We cannot stress enough your regular giving to both areas of our ministry. Please consider your giving over and above to move our life together forward in Ramona.
We look forward to seeing you Sunday on the land. We will continue to meet in person on the church property until the church council makes the decision to move back into the worship center safely. They are also beginning the process of envisioning and reimagining who we are as God’s people as we not only sell the property but live in a post pandemic world.
May God bless you always,
Pastor Dan

Men's Weekly Breakfast continues every Thursday, 8am, at Denny's in Ramona.
We have no specific agenda except to get to know other Christian men in an informal gathering.
We hope you can join us.

Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation— if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.

PROJECT MERCY
For outreach ministry at Spirit of Joy we will be joining Project Mercy on Saturday, April 24th, for another house build for a family in Mexico. We will build the home in pieces in Chula Vista (including the walls, stairs, and painting). We still need more volunteers needed for this build! Contact the church office to let us know of your availability! It is a tremendous experience, and we are in collaboration with Lutheran Church of the Incarnation in Poway on this project.

For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart
~Hebrews 4:12

We are so thankful that we are able to gather in the back room of our church facility for meetings, Prayers and Squares, and Bible Studies! Each group will be able to have a maximum of 8 persons at this time. Everyone will receive a temperature check and be asked to wear a mask. Each group meeting will be asked to use the cleaning agents available in the back room for cleaning after each gathering. We look forward to having our gatherings, and ask that everyone follow the safety guidelines that have been in place at Spirit of Joy since we began our worship together on the church building site.

Safety Procedure for Worship
We encourage your arrival between 8-8:45am for set up. Everyone is encouraged to wear masks on entry and departure on the church property. Bring your own chairs, pop-ups, umbrellas, and bottled water. To insure your safety, we will have a table with prepackaged communion (1st and 3rd Sunday each month), bulletins (also a digital bulletin is available on your electronic devices), and temperature check. Please practice social distancing of at least 6ft of separation per family unit. Trash cans are available to dispose of all trash upon leaving. If for any reason you are not feeling well, at higher risk, or uncomfortable with attending, we invite you to enjoy the service live-streamed. If you prefer staying in your car, there will be a designated area for you to do so.
