Pastor's Daily Briefing: 4.15.2020

Winter may have come and gone but light snow early this morning caused a massive pileup of nearly 70 vehicles after two separate accidents on the Kennedy Expressway. Chicago has some of the weirdest weather around so please be very careful. Prayers for those who had been injured and transported to hospitals.

I just have a couple of things today:

  • Today's Federal Tax Day (April 15th) deadline has been moved to July 15th as you may know already. States follow Federal deadline so we are automatically adjusted to the same deadline too.

  • The government's stimulus payment to eligible individuals and families will begin today especially those who have filed their 2018 and 2019 returns with direct deposit bank information on file.

There is a segment of the population that we need to be praying for which is very susceptible to the spread of the virus - those who are in prison. Cook County Jail has more than 500 positive cases reported. Pray for their salvation and healing. Jesus listed prisoners as among the least of His brothers.

"I was in prison and you came to me..." Matthew 25:36

"Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me." Matthew 25:40
