As with all infectious diseases, we encourage you all to follow these practices to help avoid the spread of disease:
- Wear a mask.
- Practice physical distancing (6 feet).
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
- If you have symptoms such as fever, upset stomach, or frequent coughing or sneezing, please stay home and seek medical attention if symptoms warrant. Should you or a family member feel the need for testing, here is a helpful link to find a site near you.
Please continue to pray for healing and peace during this time.
O God of peace, who has taught us that in returning and rest we shall be saved, in quietness and in confidence shall be our strength: By the might of your Spirit lift us, we pray, to your presence, where we may be still and know that you are God; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. - Book of Common Prayer, page 832.
