Dear SLO Adventist Church Family,
It seems the news about coronavirus—in particular our optimal response to it—is accelerating rapidly. The CDC just issued a recommendation that groups of more than 10 cease meeting for the time being. In addition, the first two cases of COVID-19 in San Luis Obispo County were confirmed this weekend.
Here are two of the clearest presentations I’ve seen on what is happening:
When a danger is growing exponentially, everything looks fine until it doesn’t - The Washington Post
In light of these and other developments, we are suspending Sabbath school classes, church services, board meeting, potluck, and film night for a minimum of the next two weeks.
We will send out selected worship options for these Sabbaths, and I will stay in touch with you digitally. Then on Tuesday, March 31, we will review the current virus conditions and confirm how best to go forward.
Until that time, the responsible path is to follow CDC recommendations. We are doing so.
Now, toward a redemptive course: During my sermon I mentioned that crises often create opportunities. In the present crisis, one way our faith community may fairly easily help our community is to venture out to make safe deliveries to people, including friends and neighbors, who are unable to leave their homes.
If you qualify as a youngish, healthy, mobile person who would like to make such deliveries, please contact Monica Yeo at slochurchoffice@gmail.com
If you could use a person to make deliveries to you at this time, or know of someone who could use such help, please also contact Monica at slochuroffice@gmail.com
Our mission remains: Becoming the presence of Christ in our community. Thank you for representing Him and for being you.
With God’s love,
Pastor Chris
