“There’s a time to embrace…and a time to refrain from embracing…” 
Ecclesiates Chapter 3 

A few months back, we notified you all of our intent for Connections to move to indefinite hiatus, following our Spring series of concerts. 
Then, this unexpected pandemic happened . As you might imagine, we have postponed all of our final shows together. 

But we want to be clear: Our intent will be to reschedule them at a later date. While the hiatus will still happen eventually, we retain our intent to do those last shows. And, we trust, whenever we are allowed to gather again for things like live concerts, the desire for us all to be together and “connect” will be more important than ever. 

So, take heart: We’ll be back with you with more information, once this situation is clearer. 

In the meantime, during this “time to refrain from embracing,” keep the faith, and keep your hope… 

And trust that our “time to embrace” will come again soon. 

Grace, peace, and prayer to you all, 

Connections Band 
(Rusty, Brian and Eric, core leaders)
