FROM OUR EMAIL SENT ON JANUARY 7, 2021:

Dear Grace Family,

On December 31, Pastor Aaron was exposed to someone who tested positive for COVID. Pastor Aaron does not have COVID. According to Grace's stated procedures, he must quarantine for 14 days from the time of exposure. 

As usual, online worship services will continue. January 10th, Pastor Sam will lead the onsite worship service. 

Feel free to contact Pastor Aaron with any questions. asmith@gracelcms.net

Please keep Pastor Aaron in your prayers as well as the following:
  • Prayers for Pastor Jim Young who is recovering from COVID. We understand he had a cough and was tired, but has almost recovered. Prayers that his family was not exposed as well.
  • Prayers for Pastor Pete Alexander who is scheduled for aortic valve replacement surgery on January 7, 2021.
