An Update about Tuscarora and COVID-19

Within the last few weeks your spring and summer brochure arrived in the mail – full of hope and excitement for the upcoming season at Tuscarora! The world has changed drastically since that printing, hasn't it? We know that unexpected circumstances allow the Lord to work in unexpected ways. I have been reminded often of the words of the apostle Paul in Philippians 4:19, “My God will supply every need of yours according to His riches in glory in Jesus Christ.” What a blessing to hold fast to this truth in the midst of uncertain times.

Gathering is at the heart of the ministry here at Tuscarora – we gather together to experience true connection with God and with each other. The pandemic keeps us from doing this very thing. Though Tuscarora is currently closed for business through April 30, and we have significant cancellations throughout May, we are doing everything we can to continue to minister to our community. We have opened our doors free of charge to first responders and medical professionals who need to be quarantined or are choosing to self-quarantine. In the coming days and weeks we will be providing messages of encouragement from close friends of Tuscarora on our social media channels along with pictures of our campus in spring bloom. We also invite you to follow along as we pray through Psalm 118.  

While each day brings new information and we cannot say with certainty what summer will look like – we are being optimistic that we will be able to gather together again soon and are busy making plans for all of the summer programs. We are not alone in facing difficult financial situations and I want to thank those of you who have made special donations to Tuscarora during this time. Please continue to pray for wisdom for Tuscarora’s Board of Directors and the Management Team as we navigate these uncertain days.  

Sincerely in Christ,
Brian Abrahamsen Executive Director
