With a bright, shiny new year before us, we thought it might be good to remind/update our Faith community about the work of the Be Well, Faith, committee. The committee works collaboratively with staff and the Faith Council to provide pandemic information and safety protocol direction for the church. Some of the regular responsibilities for each week include:

• Updating and maintaining graphs that show the number of COVID-19 cases in a five county area, along with specific weekly numbers for Washington County
• Monitoring the Minnesota Department of Health Website for new information or updated measures that ensure effective implementation of safety protocols at Faith
• Participation in virtual meetings with the Department of Health or St. Paul Area Synod that provide information specifically related to the church community
• Ensuring safety protocols are in place for worship experiences, small group gatherings, and building usage
• Preparing/sharing/archiving weekly information for Faith’s communications and social media platforms

 

In the weeks ahead, we’ll continue to update and inform you on new details or education relating to all things COVID. In the meantime, let’s hang in there together, knowing that we are on the horizon of change and improvement in the state of the pandemic. And…

• Wear a mask
• Wash your hands
• Use appropriate distancing practices when necessary
• Pray for our health care professionals working diligently to care for so many
