Is there anyone currently attending the church who would like to take over administration of this page?

Could be a rogues gallery, but pretty sure it's just kids having fun.

This is very concerning. I honestly have no idea how many in our community are vaccinated, but I know it's low.

SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI: Howell, Oregon, Carter, Shannon and Dent counties have been experiencing a surge in COVID-19 cases over the last 14 days. Disease is expected to continue moving east from Southwest Missouri.

The Delta variant, which spreads more easily and poses higher risk of hospitalization than prior variants, is believed to be contributing to the increase. Vaccination continues to be our best tool to move past this pandemic.

Case numbers for the last 14 days (approx.):
- Howell: 356 cases
- Oregon: 61 cases
- Carter: 34 cases
- Shannon: 49 cases
- Dent: 70 cases

Vaccination rates in Howell (19.6%), Oregon (18.6%), Carter (21.1%), Shannon (19.1%) and Dent (20.3%) counties are below the state rate of more than 40%. Experts say at least 70% - 80% of people need immunity to minimize spread within a community.

- Wear a mask when appropriate;
- Avoid others that appear to be sick;
- Avoid others if you have COVID symptoms;
- Cough or sneeze into your elbow or a tissue; and
- Wash your hands.

A special Christmas song I recorded for everyone...

My personal perspective on the church and COVID-19:
It isn't political. It is spiritual. The Biblical guidance on the matter?
“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”

John 13:34 "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another." King James Version

Here is the reality: cases are higher than ever.
We have a clear responsibility to protect our neighbors and widows. We cannot let fatigue or politics sway us.

Disagree if you like, but on a Christian level.

When Paul visited Lystra he healed a lame man. The younger children have a coloring page about it for this week's VBS.
Here is a dramatization from our fine actors' guild.
