Since the beginning of COVID-19, we have decided that it would be best practice to follow the governor's recommendations in our COVID-19 policies and procedures.
In yesterday's press conference the governor re-issued a recommendation stating that both vaccinated and unvaccinated people should wear masks indoors where 6ft of social distancing is impossible. This is due to the fact that Louisiana is now #1 in the country for most new COVID cases per capita.
It appears that we are in the fourth wave of COVID cases. With the uncertainty about the Delta variant and especially its ability to impact children, we want to be both careful and loving to those who desire precautions to be taken.
With that said, we will again follow the Governor's recommendations. For now, this only means that masks will again be strongly encouraged at our Sunday services.
Masks will be required for child-care workers, greeters, and ushers. Please watch for updates next week as this is a developing situation.
Finally, please be gracious with others who have differing perspectives on these precautions. We are united by Christ, not by our perspectives on the risks involved in getting a vaccine or of being exposed to COVID. This is an opportunity to trust the Lord, love one another, and unite around the gospel of Jesus Christ.
See you tomorrow! If you have any questions or need clarity, please don't hesitate to reach out.
