As we are all aware, COVID cases continue to rise in our community. Last night the session decided to postpone the lunch scheduled for Sunday, November 22 to Sunday, December 13.
First Presbyterian Church of Junction doors will be open for members who wish to attend in person, and services will continue to be broadcast live on Facebook and on YouTube. For members who choose to attend in person, please remember do not attend services if you are sick, practice social distancing by maintaining appropriate distance between people; maintain good hygiene by washing your hands frequently, and using hand sanitizer, using your elbow to cover coughs, and not touching your face.
With that, if you are concerned at all, please stay home. Many of our church members fall into the higher risk category and we expect that you will do what is best for your health. If you are showing any signs or symptoms, fever, cough or shortness of breath please stay home from church for the benefit of others. If you come to worship please refrain from shaking hands or hugging. I know that this is hard for many of us but it is best for now. When you sit in the pews please spread out.
I encourage you to continually lift each other in prayer. Pray for our medical professionals and our first responders. Pray for those who continue to address the needs in this community in the face of this illness. Pray for the vulnerable. Love and serve one another as Christ loves and serves us. And remember that our blessings far outnumber our troubles.
Yours in Christ,
Jim and Laurie
