LAKE FOREST, Calif., March 14, 2020 /Standard Newswire/ -- As the world grapples with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, Rick Warren, pastor of Saddleback Church and best-selling author of "The Purpose Driven Life," will share a special message, "What to Do in a Crisis: Our Response to the Coronavirus." The message will be live-streamed at Saddleback.com at 4 p.m. PDT / 7 p.m. EDT on Saturday, March 14.
"The purpose of this message is to give everyone hope and encouragement to confront their fears in these anxious days," said Warren.
Warren has been in direct contact with Dr. Robert Redfield, national director for the Center for Disease Control (CDC), a longtime friend who has been integral in helping Saddleback Church implement the "C" of its P.E.A.C.E. Plan, which works to Promote reconciliation, Equip servant leaders, Assist the poor, Care for the sick, and Educate the next generation worldwide.
During the address, Warren will review simple measures individuals can take to protect themselves and others from getting the COVID-19 virus, provide tools to guard from feeling overwhelmed by worry and stress, and explain three immediate ways one can serve their community during this crisis.
"Every crisis in our world is an open door to show God's love," said Warren. "While the current environment around the nation is one of fear, God is in control. Now, more than ever is an opportunity for the Church to outshine the darkness and serve people in pain."
Warren's message will be available at Saddleback.com beginning Saturday, March 14 at 4 p.m. PDT / 7 p.m. EDT and will be available on demand immediately following. For more information, visit Saddleback.com.
