Because healing and wholeness is an important aspect of our lives as children of God, we are asking folks as they gather for worship and Sunday school to temporarily consider other options to greet one another without touch. Hand sanitizing dispensers have been placed at the doors leading into worship. As the cold and flu season has been impacted by the COVID-19 virus, the best response is carefulness and hand washing, not panic. We pray for people and communities around the world who are struggling more directly with this current disease, and especially lift-up health care professionals and first responders. God’s Peace+
