Dear Beloved in Christ,
Currently in Harford County the Positivity Rate is nearly 19%, and the Case Rate is 86 per 100,000 residents. That is, one in five persons tested is positive for Covid. The current omicron variant is extremely transmissible, and the delta variant is still around. By far the largest number of hospitalizations continue to be among those who are not vaccinated. In most cases, but not all, being vaccinated results in a less severe symptoms should one have a “breakthrough” infection.
After checking with The Reverend Scott Slater+, we may still gather in church on Sunday mornings as long as everyone attending is:
- Vaccinated
- Wearing a mask.
- Everyone observes social distancing of approximately 6 feet.
The following mitigations will remain in place:
- Windows will be open
- Heat blowers will be off during the service
- Singing with masks will be only one hymn at the end of the service
- There will be one lesson or a psalm, and the Gospel
If you are not feeling well, it is prudent for your sake and the sake of others to remain at home and join us on the Live Stream at Christ Church Forest Hill on Facebook, or christchurchforesthill.org.
Prayerfully consider your current vaccination status, underlying health issues, and the current rate of transmission in Harford County as you decide whether to join us in church or on the Live Stream. Together we can Stay Church as we make every effort to Stay Safe.
Yours in Christ,
Fr Kirk
