Our hearts go out to the families of those who have lost loved ones to the COVID-19 virus. We lift our prayers for God’s healing of those who are infected with the virus and for God’s protection of the medical staff and researchers who are doing everything possible to combat this pandemic. We pray that the many people whose lives are affected by this situation and who face anxiety and difficulties will receive the help that they need. So many churches around the world have had to close their facilities, so their members are no longer able to meet together. Nevertheless, we can lift up our prayers together as one Church in the Lord. (Tr. TB)

新型コロナウイルス感染症（ＣＯＶＩＤ－１９）により、命を落とされた方々に哀悼の意を表し、ご遺族の心の痛手を思います。今、罹患されている方々のご回復を祈ります。治療と研究に尽力なさっておられる医療関係者方のお働きが守られますよう、祈ります。生活の影響がでている多くの方々、不安と困難が増している方々に、助けが届きますように。

全世界で、会堂(場所)での礼拝が捧げられない教会があり、集えない信徒の方々がおられます。主にある一つの教会として、祈りを合わせます。川上善子KNL編集委員長
