As many of you have seen, there are confirmed cases of COVID-19 in our church family. Despite feeling fine while at church on Sunday morning, David Webb tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday evening, and I have now tested positive as well. Thankfully so far our cases are mild and Jyoti has tested negative. However, if you attended Worship or Sunday School on June 12, you could have been exposed to COVID-19.
We are hopeful that the risk is low; however, we are asking everyone to maintain personal diligence and monitor yourself for any COVID symptoms including:
Fever or chills
Headache
Sore throat
Cough
New loss of taste or smell
Fatigue
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Congestion or runny nose
Muscle or body aches
Nausea or vomiting
If you develop any symptoms after being at church this past Sunday, June 12, please stay home, talk with your healthcare provider, and get tested. Please also notify Pastor Heather or Nickie Pearson in the church office of any confirmed positive COVID cases.
Please also note that the Open House at the Webb Home that was scheduled for this Saturday, June 18 has been canceled, but we look forward to another chance to fellowship with you very soon.
We will postpone our regular Church Council meeting. Instead, we will meet next Thursday, June 23 at 7:00 PM.
At this time, we are planning to hold worship at 11:00 AM on Sunday, June 19. Parrish Myers will be our guest preacher and members of our Union family will lead worship. Should we need to make any adaptations to Sunday morning, we will communicate that later this week.
Sunday School will not meet this Sunday, June 19, since I am the teacher and have some of the materials at home.
Finally, please be in prayer for the health and well-being of our Union family and for my family, too. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns in the days ahead. I am thankful for you and I am blessed to be your pastor.
With every blessing,
Pastor Heather
