Dear Congregation:
Praise God from Whom all blessings flow!! I pray that all of you are healthy and blessed by the Lord. This weekend we continue our summer Pericope schedule, preaching through the epistle or Gospel lesson of the three-year church calendar. This week I will be preaching from Matthew 14:22-33, reminding ourselves that Jesus is worthy to trust! The scripture readings are, Psalm 105:1-5 and Romans 10:5-15.
There is a mandatory "wear a mask in public places" policy in effect in Minneapolis (Executive order 20-81). We are highly recommending that, if possible, you would please wear a mask upon entering and exiting the sanctuary. We are also asking that you wear the mask whenever social distancing (6 ft apart) is not possible. We know this might seem inconvenient, but I believe that this is an opportunity to place the needs of others (potentially at risk congregation members) as more important than ourselves (Philippians 2:3-4).
For the health and safety of all who choose to worship at Hope Church, we ask that if you have any COVID-19 symptoms that you stay at home until you are no longer symptomatic. We also ask that if you have been in close proximity to someone who tests positive for COVID-19, that you take the necessary precautions and refrain from participating in Hope Church activities and our Worship services until you are certain you are not at risk of spreading the virus.
We will have masks available for those who do not have them. We are asking that you would honor the CDC's recommendation of social distancing, but also understanding families will sit next to one another. If you have any questions, please feel free to email or call us.
Blessings in Christ,
Pastor Brian Ricke
