COVID-19 Preparedness and Response Plan for Elim Lutheran Church
As of August 9, 2021
FOR THE REMAINDER OF AUGUST WE WILL RETURN TO WEARING MASKS DURING INDOOR SERVICES AND AT ALL TIMES WHILE IN THE CHURCH. THE SCIENCE IS TELLING US THAT EVEN A FULLY VACCINATED PERSON CAN SPREAD THE VIRUS.
WE MAKE THIS MOVE BECAUSE OF THE MARKED INCREASE IN THE SPREAD OF THE DELTA VARIANT OF COVID-19.
WE MAKE THIS MOVE NOT OUT OF FEAR BUT OUT OF LOVE. THOSE OF US WHO ARE FULLY VACCINATED CAN STILL SPREAD THE VARIANT TO UNVACCINATED, UNPROTECTED ADULTS AND CHILDREN.
WE WEAR MASKS BECAUSE GOD COMMANDS US TO LOVE OUR NEIGHBOR.
EXPECT AN UPDATE ON THESE PROTOCOLS IN THE LAST WEEK OF AUGUST LEADING UP TO LABOR DAY. IF WE CAN STEM THE SPREAD NOW, WE CAN STILL AIM TO BE OPEN WITH NO MASKS AFTER LABOR DAY.
