Church Family,
As most of you know by now, masking requirements are coming to an end this coming Friday, March 11 and so I wanted to update you on what that means for our church family.
Throughout these past two years we’ve done our best to be wise but not fearful and honoring to our leaders and those in authority but not compromise our beliefs. With this in mind we will be following the lead of our Governor and local health authorities and not mandating masks be worn in our worship gathering.
It’s been unbelievably sad for me to hear stories from other churches about how masks have become a divisive issue, even causing some folks to leave their church! I’m so grateful that we haven’t experienced that in our church family but I do have one request of you as we move forward.
Please continue to be gracious and kind.
If you see someone wearing or not wearing a mask respect their decision, greet them warmly, and let’s continue to make our gatherings a place where people feel welcome.
By His Grace,
Pastor Andrew
