As United Methodist we are reminded that one of our great responsibilites is to do no harm. In response to the growing concern of the spread of the Coronavirus (Covid-19) and with prayerful consideration and consultation with church leadership, Bishop Sue has notified all churches in the North Ga. Conference to suspend worship and gatherings for March 15th and March 22nd. At that time we will reasses the current situation regarding resuming worship services on March 29th. During this time however there remains much we can do although we are not meeting as usual for worship. Take this time to call, text, email, or just check-in on family and friends. Continue to read your Bible, have your daily devotional time and pray continually for everyone, especially those who are greatly affected by this virus. Please also remember those who work in healthcare and are on the front lines to ensure people receive the necessary care. Lastly, as a nurse myself, I want to remind each of you that personal hygeine (adequate handwashing), remaining free of large crowds and avoiding those who are sick or appear sick with greatly reduce the probability of becoming a victim of coronavirus (and flu).
Remember, God is and always has been in control. We will get through this (Psalm 91).
In Christ,
Jody
