Blooming Grove United Methodist Church issued the following announcement on Nov. 19.
11.19.20: MN UMC Conference COVID-19 Response - "Staying safe, turning dial to red"
(Follow-up info from the Conference to go along with Pastor Kathy's Facebook message forwarded earlier this afternoon.)
On Thursday, Nov. 19, Bishop Bruce R. Ough turned the dial on the Minnesota Conference's Phased Re-Gathering Plan for Churches from orange to red and requests that all churches return to virtual worship if they have not already done so, that all clergy and staff work from home, and that in-person activities in church buildings be limited to pre-schools, daycares, and emergency relief activities.
“We can do this hard thing,” he wrote in a letter to Minnesota United Methodists. “We can do it because we do not rely on our own strength and capacities. We rely on the promise made real in the incarnation: God is with us. The birth of the Christ child we celebrate this season proclaims that. So now we live it.” Read his letter at https://www.minnesotaumc.org/.../bishop-ough-staying-safe...
