We are not taking these steps out of fear. We are taking these steps out of love. Love for one another, the vulnerable population in our community, love for the medical professionals, and love for our government authorities. We know that nothing is normal right now, but this is an opportunity to mobilize the body of Christ to love our community.

If you need help in any way, let us know here.

HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP

1. Pray for our community and those directly affected by COVID-19. Pray for the health care workers who are treating the sick and those public health administrators making difficult decisions. Pray that God would protect our community from further spread of the virus.
2. Reflect Christ. In these anxious days, the church (all of us) can shine as a light of hope, care, faith, patience, and prudence. We can demonstrate to the world how our faith provides true assurance against worry and fear.
3. Practice recommended personal hygiene. Wash your hands frequently and stay home if you are sick.

ACCORDING TO THE CDC, HERE ARE SOME STEPS WE CAN ALL TAKE

• If you are high risk, such as older adults and those with underlying chronic medical conditions, avoid crowds as much as possible.
• Continue social distancing of at least 6 ft.
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Stay home when you are sick.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
• Wear a face mask whenever you leave your home.
