COVID UPDATE – March 4, 2022
From the Property and Insurance Team…
…MORE GOOD NEWS with a caveat!!!
It appears that all of NJ is continuing in the right direction with infection rates deeply decreasing. Praise God. We are also seeing mask mandates in schools changing as well as almost all public places. Before you make any major changes to your mask policies for worship (including singing) and all in person meetings and events, please be in discernment with your Leadership about how the changes will impact ALL of your congregation including people young children, people with disabilities and those who are at high risk, so that everyone can feel safe in returning.
Mark 12:29-31
29 Jesus answered, “The first is, ‘Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one; 30 you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
