There will be NO Bible Study for the next couple of weeks to allow
everyone to spend time with family. We'll kick off a new series in Romans on January 6.
Join us for our Virtual New Year's Eve Service. And don't forget to submit
your 2-minute video testimony for the service. We want to end the year praising God for what He has done in 2020 instead of just complaining about the year.
Please be safe during the holidays. State health officials reached out to faith leaders in our community to let us know we are seeing an increase in the percent of positive tests and hospitalizations from COVID-19 as the virus continues to spread throughout our state. We must all do our part to stop the spread of this virus.
Remember that the traditions and gatherings that we hold dear provide an opportunity for the virus to spread. We know that gatherings can spread the virus rapidly. I’m sure you’ve heard of the many positive cases that have come from someone attending a small gathering with family and friends, only to later find out that someone unknowingly had COVID-19.
Our families are facing difficult decisions about whether or not we can come together to celebrate this year. During this season for gathering, it is important to remember that if you gather with anyone who does not live in your home, you are at risk and they are too. When we are with people we know, we often let our guard down, but knowing someone doesn’t stop the virus from spreading. And this isn’t about trust because far too often family and friends may have the virus and not even know it yet, resulting in them unintentionally spreading the virus among those they love. But there are steps we can take to keep our loved ones safe. Wear your mask, practice physical distancing, and do virtual gatherings instead of in-person.
I want to wish everyone a safe and Merry Christmas!
