Hello Jessica ,

The Centers for Disease Control has issued a recommendation for all who are vaccinated or unvaccinated to wear masks when indoors in public spaces to prevent further spread of the COVID 19 virus and its highly contagious variants. Recent research suggests that even vaccinated people can spread the corona virus.

Transmission rates in all eight counties in the Greater Kansas City Region are deemed to have high transmission rates. (See button below)

We do not yet know the long-term effects of COVID 19. Some who contracted the disease earlier during the pandemic and did not need hospitalization are now complaining of serious symptoms. What we do know is that Jesus told his disciples (and through them tells us):

"Love one another as I have loved you." (John 13:34b)

Tall order given the lengths to which he was willing to go, the sacrifices he was willing to make to demonstrate God's limitless for love all people - including you who are reading this. Wearing a mask when indoors in public places and, if medically permissible, getting the vaccine seem like such small requests by comparison.

I plan to do what I can to protect your safety and the safety of others around me. I am confident that as another disciple of Jesus Christ you will too. Thank you.

God bless you,

Bill Rose-Heim

Regional Minister and President
