Shout-Out to the Kids!
Pastor Kevin would like to see photos of your pets! Pictures of dogs, cats, or some other animals you enjoy. If you don’t have a pet, find a photo of a pet you like! Email them to hello@coldspringchurch.com, or post to your Facebook page and tag #coldspringchurch. (Image: Communication Coordinator Max’s daughter Avery, with her best friend Tyson.)
Once you and your family are ready, snap a pic or video to share with us by posting to Facebook #ColdSpringChurch or Instagram #coldspringchurchnj. While we have to live apart, we are never alone! The love of Jesus is for everyone, and Eastertide is the perfect time to remember Jesus’ victory.
How can I prepare for Easter Online?
Set the environment in your home to allow you to focus, participate, and enjoy the service. Fix your coffee, tea, or snack. Make sure everyone can comfortably watch and prepare to receive from God as we worship together, apart!

New Reality
South Jersey’s growing COVID-19 case count reminds us every day how upended most aspects of our lives are. We are acutely aware that the global coronavirus pandemic is now a local crisis – everywhere. But hope is alive because Jesus is alive, and all of us in Christ are alive, really alive, as well! That’s why we worship God. Gather. Pray. Give. Serve. Hope. Repeat.
This Sunday, May 3, plan to join our grand worship online when we celebrate at the Lord’s Table virtually. Yes, virtually! (If you’d like to participate, look for simple instructions in the Worship Online Guide, and you do not need a Facebook account or log in to watch the service.) The Good News message from John 10 will provide fresh ideas that will help us move forward into our new reality, and Jesus is the Gate!
We hear the word “unprecedented” a lot these days – and for a good reason. But don’t let fear or anxiety get you down. We have experienced “unprecedented” many times during our 306 years of community ministry serving greater Cape May. The Risen Christ is still leading us into a brighter, better, and different way ahead.
Are you looking for that new reality? Know that we’re here to provide spiritual resources today, tomorrow, and every day after that. Let’s open the Gate together this Sunday as we virtually 6-1gather around the Lord’s Table. Hope is alive!
Sincerely,
Pastor Kevin

Who’s thirsty? You know when your body is parched. Without skipping a beat, you reach for water. “Ahhh… Yes!,” you say. Water is the most important resource in the world. Did you know that in one year, the average American residence uses over 100,000 gallons? Wow! But sadly, unsafe water kills 200 children every hour. In some countries, less than half the population has access to clean water.
