MTA National Chaplain Marshall Jarvis

To our MTA and MTAA members and family, We are enduring some trying times; a war of a different type that is difficult thus far to find a weapon against. We are all doing our best to stay positive and hopefully healthy as many of us are in that "older American" group and others are on the front lines deployed or in civilian life. I want to reach out to each of you and let you know that as our National Chaplain I am here and that Mary and I pray daily for every one of you and your loved ones. We pray and hope that some semblance of normalcy will not be too far away and that He gives us the strength to endure the time if it is longer. Please stay home when and if you can as long as deemed necessary and God willing we'll get to be together soon to exchange stories old and new. Dear Heavenly Father please watch over all our MTA, MTAA and indeed our military of all branches; keep us safe from this virus and heal those infected. Please bring comfort to those in your need. We ask this in Your name, Amen.
