Prayers for safe travel for John & Delaney Crawford and Elliott Hood as they head to Paris, France today to work with the church there in June. John and Delaney will be changing their SIM cards in their phones when they get to Paris so their normal numbers will not be working. They will find a way to communicate while they are gone. 

The Young Professionals Ministry will be meeting this Thursday evening in the church sanctuary. We will finish our study of the Fruit of the Spirit doing a devotional on Faithfulness. Please be mindful of VBS attendees in the parking lot and enter through the side doors.

If you know of someone that may be interested in coming or have any questions, contact Garrison Fisher at 704-401-4147 or Emmie Landford at 912-223-9508.

 
Due to Memorial day and July 4 we are moving the start date of the Carrying One Another’s Burdens to Saturday June 12 at 9:00 am. This will also give those attending more time to read the two books we will be referencing and to study the scriptures that pertain to the topic. There is still room if you want to sign up. Reply to this email or contact Terry Morrow at 770-337-4455 if you have any questions. 

COVID 19 PROTOCOLS:
Based on the latest information from the Georgia Dept. of Health, we are revising our Covid 19/mask protocol as follows. Please know that we will be reviewing our protocols every few weeks as things continue to change and progress. 
 
Updated Guidance from The Elders:
For gatherings of any size inside the building where 3 feet of distance cannot be maintained, masks are required for those ages 2 and up who are not fully vaccinated.  Please keep taking all precautions until you are fully vaccinated or if you choose not to get vaccinated.  From the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention via the Georgia Department of Public Health:
“If you are fully vaccinated, you can resume activities without wearing a mask or physically distancing.  In general, people are considered fully vaccinated:
·        2 weeks after their second dose in a 2-dose series, such as the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, or
·        2 weeks after a single-dose vaccine, such as Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine
If you don’t meet these requirements, regardless of your age, you are not fully vaccinated.  Also. if you have a condition or are taking medications that weaken your immune system, you may not be fully protected even if you are fully vaccinated. Talk to your healthcare provider. Even after vaccination, you may need to continue taking all precautions.”
